A powerful wildlife image captured on a decade-old DSLR is proving that great photography isn't just about the latest gear. UAE-based photographer Preeti Joh has won recognition at the GDT Nature Photographer of the Year with the striking black-and-white image Zuflucht (Shelter).
The photograph shows a young elephant calf nestled beneath the legs of an adult, creating a moment of protection and vulnerability that draws the viewer in. The image secured second place in the Mammals category and stands out for its strong composition, storytelling, and sculptural quality.
