Mark Goldstein, Wildlife of Africa (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

The diversity of African wildlife is amazing. I have entered my favourite shots taken in the last year: A weaver bird building a nest for a prospective partner, a leopard stalking our campsite in the dark lit only with a handheld spot– a challenging photo to take – in manual exposure and focus, a large male leopard voraciously finishing off his meal with just a morsel remaining, and a tower of giraffes at a water source.
