Matthew Logan: “These boys, brothers I assume, were fishing in a local canal on a hot summer day near Washington DC. To me, it has a timeless quality, like it could’ve been taken 10 or 50 or 100 years ago and little would have changed.”

Ian Garfield: “This is Lulu, our whippet cross, doing what whippets do best. I’d just bought a new lens and took our dogs for a run at Sutton Park, near Birmingham, one Sunday evening – and this image captures everything about Lulu beautifully. She was three when that photo was taken – and having just turned 12, she’s a little bit slower these days. But out of all the photos I’ve taken since then, this is still my favourite.”

Adam Taylor: “While visiting Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, in India, I noticed these darters fishing in an algae-covered lake. Every so often, the birds caught a fish underwater and emerged – before tossing the fish in the air and swallowing it whole.”

Sean Corlett: “Every year, I cover the Isle of Man TT races. This is a shot of Davey Todd at Ago’s Leap – you can see where it gets its name from. I was lying on the ground to get the low angle – this makes the shot for me.”

Sophie Brind: “We rounded a corner to see this small herd, with three calves protected in the centre of the group, crossing the track. For just a second, they looked at me before they continued on their way.”
