Winner – astrophotography: Oberon Kenobi

‘An amphitheatre of pandani watch on as the galactic core, swathed in airglow, rises over an alpine lake, nestled in a rugged Tassie mountain range. Lady Aurora dances under the Magellanic Clouds. This image was captured on a crisp night in one of Tasmania’s more rugged and majestic multi-day walks.’ Loinnekumme country, South-west national park, Tasmania.

Winner – monochrome: Party Streamer

‘Orca WA007 joyfully leaps out of the Bremer Canyon after devouring a Cuvier’s beaked whale, her prey’s intestines subtly hanging from her mouth like a festive decoration. Around 300 of these mammal-hunting orcas have been recorded in this remote Southern Ocean hotspot, with unfolding research suggesting they may be their own ecotype.’ Noongar country, Southern Ocean, off Bremer Bay, Western Australia.

Finalist – landscape: Enchanted Forest

‘On a camping trip with my son, we came across this amazing section of silver beech that were stunted and beautifully sculpted by the elements. After several attempts, I was finally present when it snowed. Not long after dawn, the clouds departed, and the low angled sun added a hint of warmth to the fairytale scene.’ Te Rua-o-te-Moko/Fiordland, New Zealand.
