Sweeps the Boards in Photographic Competition
September 2007
Earthinfocus.com's
very own Matt Doggett has wowed the judges of the British Ecological
Society's 2007 Photographic Competition - Celebrating Ecology.
The
British Ecological Society (BES) is a learned society and a registered
charity, which was established in 1913 to promote and foster the
study of ecology in its widest sense.
Sweeping
the board, Matt not only won two categories but also claimed the
competition's overall winner and runner up prizes.
Matt's
award winning images were taken while working in the Philippines
as a Project Scientist for Coral Cay Conservation (www.coralcay.org)
and lived up to the competition's tag line by celebrating the ecology
of this amazing archipelago.
The
picture that scooped Matt the coveted title of overall winner is
a dynamic image of a paradise flying tree snake Chrysopelea paradisi
in the throws of consuming its prey - a Tokay gecko Gekko gecko.
So
impressed were the BES judges that Matt has been asked to join their
ranks in 2008!
