Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year award

Walrus feeding on clams

This award winning picture was nearly deleted from the camera!

Goran Ehlme’s shot of a walrus feeding on clams on the sea floor is a whirl of grey; the animal’s face is seen poking through a cloud of disturbed sediment.

He caught the magic moment on a digital camera and deleted many unwanted shots.

“My finger was poised to delete this one too, and then I noticed something special,” he told the BBC News website.
