Outstanding Award Winning Photos
By David F. Bezold
This mountain lion’s favorite spot is a large rock formation where he rests in the late afternoon. I waited patiently until he stared directly at me.
Friends by Peter Allinson
This photo was taken three miles west off the coast of Dominica. The whale is a member of a pod of about 50 sperm whales that live there. His name is Scar. Andrew Armour has befriended the whale and is pictured with him.
Tribal by Jessica Teng
The use of artificial light was well executed, as is evident by the specular highlights of the paint on the face to give it that extra shiny look. This photo has lovely composition, great ideation and beautiful colours.
Sheep+shepherd by Soren Skov
The image was captured in Romania. The shepherd was asleep with his sheep.

I took this photo at my sister’s apartment on the balcony, while I was testing my new lens (Sigma 105mm Macro) which I had gotten a few days earlier. I was looking for something interesting to shoot, and suddenly I spotted a little turtle in the aquarium.
By Felix Marquez
I’m sure this military drill was a wonder to see in its rapid fire execution. But it is another wonder to see when held still in this photograph. Preparation, precision, and timing all coming together so wonderfully. (All which can also be said of the photographer.)
A tribal birth in India by Abhijit Dey
Six days after Betka Tudu’s birth, female relatives and neighbors in the West Bengal village of Purulia gathered to bless him and “to protect him from harm’s way,” says Dey. Born into the Santhal tribe, Betka “unknowingly drew his distant kin closer than ever.” — Abigail Tucker
Colombo by Namal Kamalgoda
Minneriya National Park, Sri Lanka.
By Machado, Portugal
Licancabur volcano is located on the border between Chile and Bolivia.
Dentist by Debasish Bhhaduri
The photograph was shot at the Kolkata zoo.
By Zoltán Balogh, Hungary
An aerial view near Madrid
By Ruston Agte Arizona
Kobe the polar bear out for a swim at the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson, Arizona. At first I thought the glaring sun on the water was going to ruin the picture. What a surprise!
TROUBLE-MAKER by Stefano Unterthiner
Beekeeper at work by Julien Robitaille
Clearwater by Carol Grant
Endangered Florida manatee at the Three Sisters Spring wintering site, Crystal River, Florida.
Light Dance by Rod Scott
Tough lighting situations at times produce the greatest shots. This photo is one that falls into that category. The painting of light and the illumination of the faces capture the moment beautifully.
Ted Steinke of Layton
for photo of Northern Harriers, Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, UT
Calcutta, India by Debashis Mukherjee
Boys are running towards a waterhole in a hot & humid day
Green Sea Turtle Being Cleaned by Peter Liu
By Jason J. Corneveaux Arizona
Canyonlands National Park on the White Rim Trail, looking south along the Green River near the Potato Bottom campsite.
By Abraham Herrera
The Grand Canyon’s Redwall Cavern
By Arthur Morris
Pairs of gannets were building nests atop a viewing shelter. It was a great opportunity to capture artistic images with high-key sky backgrounds as I did in this photo of a male passing nesting material to his mate.
By Prasanta Biswas
At the Indian village pond
By Ghioc Tudor, Romania
Where is freedom?
By Jaime Villalta, Venezuela

Nice photographs but would liked to have seen a few winners from World Press Photo… Although these are not always the most beautiful but they are the most powerful photos I have ever seen. Especially the ones taken by war photographers. Please update!
I completely agree with you Bram. I understand that we live in a beautiful world and that is cool to see in the pics, but the human story and plight is right now the key story that needs to be told…

Earlier I thought these can be created with various photoshop softwares but now my perception has changed..Thanks for sharing all these….
Very interesting article post. Your article is very interesting. I liked this article. This article is terrific! I have to say that after continually reading terrible as in, same old ideas, little quality content, etc. blog posts on other sites, it’s good to actually read something that has some thought put into it. It’s a pleasure to read quality blog posts, especially after continually seeing rehashed %$!# that writers and bloggers are putting out nowadays. It’s always nice when I come across content that actually has value, I’ve been seeing a ton of subpar writing attempts recently. Anyways, thanks again and I’ll check back often to see what else you have to offer. I’ll check back in the future to see what else you have up your sleeve. Keep up the excellent work! BTW, I like your site design, but your header image was only loading half way for me. P.S. Your header is messed up a bit in IE. The problem could be on my end but I thought you might want to look into that.
this is very very serious photography.
i am hoping to reach there soon.
of course it will take time BUT ONE DAY….I WILL BE THERE.
Awesome Pics…
Just suppup..mind blowing..
Lovely shot of our beautiful resident polar bear, Kobe!
Splendid:):)
these are horrible photos. Where would the would be without the digital camera that any lameman can point and click and the stolen downloaded torrent of Photoshop.
I mastered more a new challenge on this fat loss issue. One issue is that good nutrition is tremendously vital when dieting. A big reduction in bad foods, sugary meals, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and white colored flour products may perhaps be necessary. Keeping wastes harmful bacteria, and wastes may prevent goals for fat loss. While specific drugs momentarily solve the situation, the horrible side effects will not be worth it, and they never offer more than a momentary solution. This is a known indisputable fact that 95% of diet plans fail. Thanks for sharing your thinking on this web site.
i like the faces of asia nice one
