Something truly amazing has happened at this year’s World Photography Organisation (WPO) and Sony Malaysia competition.
Of all exceptional Malaysian photographers, a marine biology graduate, Yoganathan Loganathan cliched the top prize in the National Awards competition. Despite his young age, the talented photographer participated in the Open competition in the Natural World & Wildlife category by submitting his Ray of Hope photograph.
The shot of a long-tailed macaque, also classified as a crab-eating macaque, was photographed in a mangrove forest in Kuala Gula, Perak.
