Winners of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2017 announced

CATEGORY WINNER 2017, PLANTS AND FUNGI
The stunning beauty of the vegetation indigenous to the fjords of Norway swept the Plants and Fungi category. Although the image resembles a close-up, it actually depicts a forest of downy birch trees glowing gold in the autumnal light. The trees manage to grow even on the precarious 200-metre drop down the cliff face.
EOS 650D 70 – 200mm f4 lens at 100mm; 1/100 sec at f5.6 (-1e/v); ISO 200; Manfrotto tripod.
