An incredible photo of a shark in a school of fish has won the top prize at this year’s Drone Photo Awards.
Apart from the Siena Awards Festival in Italy, the aerial awards category sees entrants from 126 countries enter their photos to be judged for the top prize. The 45 top ranking photos will be displayed in the ‘Above Us Only Sky’ exhibition. It runs at one of Italy’s oldest science museums, the Accademia dei Fisiocritici in Siena. The overall winner for this year was taken by Jim Picôt, an Australian photographer who took a truly once in a lifetime snap. His winning image portrayed a striking sight – a school of salmon forming a heart shape while been hunted down by a preying shark.
