Gorshkov took this photo in Russia\u2019s Land of the Leopard National Park. He set up motion-sensor cameras and waited over 11 months to collect his award-winning shot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Huge congratulations to our <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WPY56?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WPY56<\/a> winners, Sergey Gorshkov and Liina Heikkinen! \ud83c\udfc6<br \/>Discover all the details behind this year&#39;s Young Winner, and this year&#39;s Wildlife Photographer of the Year: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Lc7UpLLTQx\">https:\/\/t.co\/Lc7UpLLTQx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Wildlife Photographer of the Year (@NHM_WPY) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHM_WPY\/status\/1316117383145312263?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 13, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the photo, the endangered big cat can be seen standing on its hind legs with its front legs wrapped around a tree.

While awarding Sergey with the Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the judges had this to say about their decision regarding the photograph:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s a scene like no other, a unique glimpse of an intimate moment deep in a magical forest,\u201d Roz Kidman Cox, chair of the judging panel, said in an October 13th statement. \u201cShafts of low winter sun highlight the ancient fir tree and the coat of the huge tigress as she grips the trunk in obvious ecstasy and inhales the scent of tiger on resin, leaving her own mark as her message. It\u2019s also a story told in glorious color and texture of the comeback of the Amur tiger, a symbol of the Russian wilderness.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This message resonated with judges, who picked the winner from over 49,000 entries in the prestigious competition that is held annually by the Natural History Museum in London.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; letter-spacing: 5px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0;\">ALSO READ<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; font-family: Raleway ,sans-serif;\" href=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/court-warns-karachi-zoo-to-install-ac-inside-the-bear-enclosure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Court Warns Karachi Zoo to Install AC Inside the Bear Enclosure<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Some Other Talented Photographers<\/h3>\n<p>Not to undermine other talented photographers as there were other exceptionally beautiful photographs in the completion as well.
