"In nature, almost nothing goes to waste – even hyenas have a family to feed, and they do it with remarkable commitment," says photographer Willem Kruger about his image that won Close Up Photographer of the Year's 'Death & Decay' challenge.
Kruger's awarded image shows a hyena carrying its prey – a zebra's head. The hyena locks eyes with Kruger and his top-tier 600mm super-telephoto lens, mounted on a full-frame mirrorless camera widely regarded as one of the best on the market.
