The judges have chosen Malaysia-based photographer Tracey Jennings’ photograph Hide and Seek as the winning entry, describing the shot as a having “a huge amount of energy with a rich cacophony of shapes and an explosion of tonality.” New South Wales photographer Floyd Mallon won the junior category for his shot Running Wombat, Common Wombat (Vombatus ursinus).
