The overall winning entry, snapped by Tibor Kercz, consists of a series of four images depicting three little owls. In the first photo, two of the owls sit on a branch while the third scrambles desperately to climb on. In the second image, the owl has managed to join its buddies on the branch. But then it starts to fall. By the fourth photo, the owl is off the branch again, hanging on by a single foot. It is perhaps an apt metaphor for human existence; the floundering owl is all of us.
