The Kirstenbosch Botanical Society celebrated their 100th anniversary this year by hosting a photographic competition.
Over the year, we've been sharing the impressive monthly winning images in both the open and student categories, and the competition's overall winners were announced at a prize giving ceremony and exhibition at the Botanical Society's Conservatory on 28 November.
Overall winner in the open category Kevin Shields with his Canon 60D.
The overall winners received a Canon 60D kit and Canon G1 X respectively, sponsored by Canon SA, and Orms printed the photos at the exhibition.
