I participate in some of the most prestigious international wildlife photography competitions to have my images measured against the best pros and keen amateurs from all over the world. Thus, receiving an award or recognition is always a huge motivation to me.

Crossing Water
A cold morning on Lake Kerkini in Northern Greece I noticed a Dalmatian pelican approaching from the distance as we were sailing back to the harbour in our big wooden boat. The soft morning light created a pastel-like atmosphere to the scenery with the mountains in the background and a completely mirrorlike water surface. I was ready and concentrated on getting the composition right when the pelican passed only five metres from our boat. Fortunately, I had a wide-angle lens on the camera.

Nail Biting
One evening, I was sitting in a special build hide in Hungary photographing at water level. I was invisible to the birds outside and this Night Heron stood for a long time just in front of me being busy with its claw. I used a low f-number to get a soft framing in the nice evening sun.
