An image of a squirrel stuck in a tree has been named the overall winner of this yearfs Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, with a frog in a bubble and a bream chasing a bald eagle among the category winners.
gStuck Squirrelh by Milko Marchetti was chosen as the winner from more than 9,000 entries, the highest number received in the competitionfs 10-year history, the organizers said in a statement published Tuesday.
The team whittled the entries down to a selection of 45, which were then put to a judging panel that selected the overall winner as well as nine category winners. Marchettifs photo shows the moment a red squirrel is entering its hide in the trunk of a tree, with its legs at right angles to the trunk.
gI have taken many, many photographs of squirrels, in many situations over the years in Italy, but this one struck me as really funny and such a strange position, because it is that exact moment when the squirrel is detaching its back legs from the trunk to enter its hide,h Marchetti said in the statement.
gWhenever I show this image at the nature seminars at my local photography club, the audience always explode with raucous laughter, so I had to enter it!h
Stefan Maier, senior general manager of marketing at Nikon Europe, said he was thrilled to announce Marchettifs win, adding that his image gbrilliantly captures the playful and unpredictable moments that make nature so enchanting.h

Grfc Prospect of a foreign-fueled Syrian arms race grows SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France -- Nearly a century ago, Robert Marchand was told by a coach that he should give up cycling because he would never achieve anything on a bike. He proved that prediction wrong again on Wednesday. In a skin-tight yellow and violet jersey, the 105-year-old Frenchman set a world record in the 105-plus age category -- created especially for the tireless veteran -- by riding 22.547 kilometers in one hour.Irsquo;m now waiting for a rival, he said. French cyclist Robert Marchand, aged 105, cycles to <a href=https://www.dunks.fr>nike dunk high</a> set a record for distance cycled in one hour, at the velodrome of Saint-Quentin en Yvelines, outside Paris, Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2017. Francois Mori, AP Marchand had ridden faster in the past on the boards of the Velodrome National, a state of the art venue used to host the elite of track cycling. <a href=https://www.crocss.com.de>crocs</a> But he had warned before his latest attempt that his current form was not as good. I did not see the sign warning me I had 10 minutes left, Marchand said after his effort. Otherwise I would have gone faster, I would have posted a better time. Irsquo;m not tired. I thought my legs would hurt, but they donrsquo;t. My arms hurt, you have to hurt somewhere. Three years ago at the same venue, Marchand covered 26.927 kilometers in one hour to better his own world record in the over-100s category.
