Here's the winner and some of OGN's favourites.
“It’s been over two decades since I first witnessed a dipper darting through a waterfall,” photographer Konrad Wothe says. “The small passerine bird was flying back and forth to a nest tucked away safely behind a dense curtain of water. Of course I attempted to capture the dipper on film, but my analogue camera gear did not allow me to freeze this split-second moment in sharp focus.”
Twenty years later and armed with a faster camera, Wothe captured the magical moment a white-throated dipper crashed through a waterfall. The image (below) earned Wothe top honours at the 2025 GDT (German Society for Nature Photography) Nature Photographer of the Year awards.

And here's half a dozen more of OGN's favourites from this year's competition...
