A bike ride along the Lowestoft Southern Relief Road led to John Goldsby getting this stunning image of a heron and winning The Journal’s Picture of the Week contest.
He had his camera with him when he spotted the bird on a walkway near Fen Park.
Mr Goldsby, who lives in nearby Kirkley Run, said: “I was biking down the road looking for something to photograph and saw the heron standing there. When I got home I decided this was so good that I ought to enter it into the competition.”
He will be presented with his photograph in a 12in x 10in frame, mounted and inscribed, in a prize worth more than £60 from Picture Studios, of London Road North, Lowestoft.
And John’s photo will go forward to The Journal’s next final of winning images, when he will have the chance to win his image in a printed 12in x 18in photo block worth £130.
Winner of the past 26 weeks
Meanwhile, entries have flooded in from readers who voted for the best winning image over the past 26 week which featured a host of imaginative photographs.
And the winner, with a total of 21 votes, was Carl Baldry, of Pinewood Avenue, Lowestoft, with his picture of a tiger at Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens, at Filby.
