Thomas Vijayan was named world nature photographer of the year for his Borneo orangutan photo (above) titled ‘The world is going upside down’ .
The Canadian photographer says: ‘I had this frame in my mind, so to get this shot I firstly selected a tree that was in the water so that I could get a good reflection of the sky, which makes the image look upside down. Then I climbed up the tree and waited for hours.
