【大紀元2020年05月11日訊】（大紀元記者陳俊村報導）2020年Big Picture自然世界攝影大賽（BigPicture Natural World Photography Competition）日前揭曉。來自英國的攝影師帕金森（Andy Parkinson）以一幅與野兔有關的作品獲得總冠軍。
這項年度比賽由美國加州科學院（California Academy of Sciences）主辦，今年是第7屆，而今年的獲獎作品也延續了一貫的高水準。
這項比賽總共分為7個類別，包括：水中生物（Aquatic Life）、自然藝術（Art of Nature）、山水景致與植物（Landscapes, Waterscapes, and Flora）、陸棲野生動物（Terrestrial Wildlife）、有翼生物（Winged Life）、人類/自然（Human/Nature）、照片故事──共存（Photo Story－Coexistence）。
熱衷於藉由照片替動物發聲、曾獲得多個國際攝影比賽獎項的帕金森，以其在英格蘭高地拍攝的野兔照片，榮獲今年的總冠軍，獨得5,000美元的獎金。
在這幅作品中，一隻野兔在雪地上蜷曲成一團，試圖抵禦殘酷的風暴。帕金森在寒冷的天氣中等候了幾個小時，才拍攝到這張照片。

伊斯特哈斯說，帕金森創作了一幅具足技術完美性、藝術技巧和行為的作品。「對我而言，這是一張表現抵禦風暴、擁有美感與恢復力的圖片。我相信這個世界現在比以往更加需要這張照片。」
