Barbara, from Hertfordshire, bagged the £1,000 top prize in the international contest for her photo of two male impalas, captured at Etosha National Park in Namibia.
Tim Harris from Nature Picture Library, one of the judges, praised Barbara for catching a ‘dramatic moment of behaviour and interaction, with lovely composition and lighting’.
The Young Photographer of the Year was named as 17-year-old Oliver Tidswell, also from the UK, who won £500 for his shot of an alpine plant in India.
