Discover what it takes to be an award-winning image. Wim won our Grand Title for this haunting scene of a brown hyena among the skeletal remains of a long-abandoned diamond mining town.
With sea fog rolling in from the Atlantic Ocean, Wim chose this spot for his camera trap after noticing hyena tracks nearby.
“It took me 10 years to finally get this one single image of a brown hyena, in the most perfect frame imaginable.”
Don't miss our new exhibition where you can see Wim’s incredible image and more in-person at the Natural History Museum, London!
