Nature - an inexhaustible source of inspiration for creative people. You can observe the world of flora and fauna for an infinitely long time, looking for unexpected plots, learning something new. The annual Society of Biology Photo Contest, We bring to your attention the works of the winners.
More than 800 amateur photographers took part in this year's beauty competition. The organizers of the competition evaluated the works in two nominations "Photographer of the Year" and "Young Photographer of the Year", since there were many talented young people among the contestants, children who have not yet turned 18 years old.
The theme of the competition was announced extensively: "Home, Habitat and Shelter", which literally means "Home, habitat and shelter." Photographers were not limited in the choice of material, they shot under water, on the ground, in the air … So the jury had a difficult task - to determine the best shots.
Despite the fact that among the works submitted for the competition there were many exotic images of wildlife, the main prize went to 20-year-old Billy Cloughham, the author of the photograph, which captured the blackbird against the background of an ordinary garden. Judge Tim Harris of the Nature Picture Library noted that “Billy’s image is an extraordinary look at a bird we all know well. Gardens are like an oasis in today's urbanized world, and this great shot shows the viewer that you don't have to travel to hard-to-reach places to capture interesting animal behavior."
Best Young Photographer was named Nagarjun Ram.
The Society of Biology is far from the only wildlife photography competition. On the website Kulturologiya. RF you can also get acquainted with the best works presented at international competitions B&H Wilderness Photo Competition and Smithsonian.
