Stowe expressed his delight at winning the people’s choice vote and its $500 prize.
“It means more to me than if I had won the overall prize. I was rapt to be a finalist in this competition, which is important both artistically and scientifically in celebrating the best of our wildlife,” he said.
A wedding photographer in his main work, Stowe also enjoys travelling in the outback and northern Australia to capture images of landscapes, birds and lizards.
“There are very good international wildlife photography competitions, but it’s nice to see an Australian one like this promoting what we have in this country and in the region,” he said.
“The biodiversity is just so rich and we have so much to work with.”
His winning photograph was snapped at dusk at Chili Beach on Cape York.
West Australian wildlife photographer David Rennie won the overall prize this year for his photo Near Miss.
The exhibition continues in Adelaide until November 24 and then tours Western Australia and Tasmania.
