The Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards is one of the most popular, and
undoubtedly the funniest, photography competitions in the calendar year, and
Milko Marchetti's Stuck Squirrel takes this year's top prize.



This year's competition saw the highest number of entries in its ten-year
history, with over 9000 entries by professionals and amateurs alike, each vying
for the title of 'Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photographer of the Year'. The selection
of images had to be whittled down to a mere 45 before reaching the judging panel
to award the winners. Competition was fiercely competitive with only a few
points between the top 5 places.



Marchetti's image, titled Stuck Squirrel, came out on top – awarded the highest
number of points in total. The image depicts a Red Squirrel seemingly stuck 90º
out of a hole in a tree with legs and tail outstretched to strengthen the effect
and amusing nature.

Speaking on making the image Marchetti says, "I have taken many, many
photographs of squirrels, in many situations over the years, but this one struck
me as really funny and such a strange position, because it is that exact moment
when the squirrel is detaching its back legs from the trunk to enter its hide
(which was an old woodpecker’s nest in a hollow tree.) Whenever I show this
image to people at various nature seminars I do at my local photography club,
the audience always explode in raucous laughter, so I had to enter it!"

As the overall competition winner, Marchetti was awarded a once-in-a-lifetime
safari in the Masai Mara, Kenya, a unique handmade trophy from the Wonder
Workshop in Tanzania, and a Think Tank photography bag.

In addition to the top spot, 9 other category winners captured the hilarity of
wildlife with highlights including Jose Miguel Gallego Molina who won the Insect
Award for his fabulous image titled Mantis Flamenca, Eberhard Ehmke who took the
top prize in the Reptile Category with his photo of a frog in a bubble, and
Przemyslaw Jakubczyk won the Fish and other Aquatic Animals Category by
capturing a Bald Eagle being chased across the sky by a Bream!
