Look Into My Eyes by Dod Morrison

Nikon D700, 50mm f/1.4, 1/500sec at f/4.5, ISO 320

‘I have followed badgers for a few years now and travelled the length of the UK to watch and photograph them,’ says Dod, from Aberdeen, who confesses that his wildlife photography has helped him get through the stresses of the past year. ‘On this day in north-east Scotland this rather inquisitive badger was getting very close so I lay on the ground. He almost came right up to my lens – I couldn’t believe my luck. It was one of the best encounters I have had. I could almost imagine it saying, “You are one of the nice humans – others do not treat us so kindly.” These beautiful animals are still persecuted even though they are a protected species.’ Instagram @Dodmorrison.
