Patience and commitment helped Bojan capture this stirring image of a a male orangutan peering from behind a tree while crossing a river in Borneo, Indonesia. Rampant palm oil cultivation threatens this critically endangered ape, forcing the normally arboreal species to resort to unusual behaviour—such as wading through crocodile-infested rivers—in order to survive.
Bojan has led a photo tour in Africa to coach photographers and capture wildlife, including this cheetah dappled in the morning light on the Masai Mara in Kenya.
A crested kingfisher perches on a cold winter morning at the Ramganga River. "It's always interesting to shoot against the light to create artistic images," says Bojan.
Since winning the contest, Bojan had the opportunity to lead a photo tour in Hokkaido, Japan, where he captured this red-crowned crane on a winter morning.
"I was recently in this little fishing village in Sulawesi, Indonesia, to see endangered macaques. I followed this macaque and his group for four days and captured some lovely moments," he recalls.
