A huge well done to Scott Wilson (United Kingdom) for winning this year's Open Photographer of the Year title for his image Anger Management. The monochrome photograph depicts a dirt-caked wild mustang kicking up a dust storm in northwestern Colorado. He wins $5,000 (cash prize) plus Sony digital imaging kit and global online coverage. The Open competition rewards striking standalone images highlighting the beauty of our world. Photographers could submit up to three images for free across ten categories.
