Overall Wiппer, Mammals. A Hare’s Dream By Peter Liпdel

This year, the overall winner is Peter Lindel from Dortmund, Germany, with his photo of a European hare. Lindel is passionate about wildlife photography, focusing on local as well as African fauna. The winning image belongs to a series taken in the north of Dortmund. “Compared to many international nature photography hotspots, this region has little to offer,” GDT said. “[But] Peter Lindel [invested] a lot of time and blood, sweat, and tears working on this project on his doorstep. In these times, as everyone is urged to stay home, the generally classic subject of a hare gains special significance. It is also a beautiful statement for long-term exploration of a single species and region.”
