High-flying jay, by Lasse Kurkela, Finland, winner, age category: 15-17 years. Kurkela watched a Siberian jay fly to the top of a spruce tree to stash its food. Kurkela wanted to give a sense of scale in his photograph of the Siberian jay, tiny among the old-growth spruce-dominated forest. He used pieces of cheese to get the jays accustomed to his remotely controlled camera. (Wildlife Photographer of the Year)
