"Ghostly Cheetah" by Britta Jaschinski
While runners-up came eye-to-eye with a baby sea turtle or captured a crystal-clear picture of a bird scooping up a fish for dinner, the winning image in the GDT European Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2010 contest was neither close-up or sharp. Instead, it was a dark, atmospheric portrait highlighting the vulnerability of the cheetah, an animal "endangered due to loss of habitat, reduced prey, and direct persecution," according to photographer Britta Jaschinski, who took the picture following a huge bush fire in Ndutu, Tanzania.
