Wild Places - Highly Commended
Magnus Lindbom (Sweden)
Magical morning
'I woke up in my tent very early on a spring morning in Tyresta National Park, just south of Stockholm. The lake was still as a mirror and fog had rolled in during the night. This was one of those mornings you long for. I really enjoy working with reflections, and when I saw the cloud formation, I knew the image I wanted to make. The sun breaking softly through the fog was the bonus. It was amazing to witness a wild scene like this so close to a city.'
