Who won the IFA Countryside Photo Competition for 2024?
The winner of the IFA Countryside 2024 Photo Competition; Through Nature’s Lens is Sean Ward with his image ‘The Brave Fox’.
“Back in 2021, I witnessed a scene straight out of a winter dream… a lone fox, stepping cautiously across a frozen lake, enveloped in a veil of mist. The ice mirrored its delicate steps, and the silence of the moment felt almost sacred, as if nature was holding its breath. It’s rare to experience such untouched beauty where the world slows down, and you’re reminded of nature’s quiet power. “
