Nature photographers travel the globe to document its beauty and diversity, and this year's winners prove that once again.
Nature photographers witness breathtaking landscapes, fascinating wildlife behaviour, and surprising glimpses of Earth’s soaring peaks and mysterious ocean depths. The powerful images and films they bring home awaken our desire to explore, enjoy, and conserve the natural world.
In admiration of these visually-driven storytellers and the important impact they have made since cameras were first invented, the Nature’s Best Photography Awards have been showcasing the year's finest images since 1995.
Mangesh Desai from India was made Grand Prize Winner for his picture taken at the Taboda-Andhari Tiger Reserve. “Over the years, I have witnessed this young tiger on his path toward independence, starting with lessons from his mother teaching him to defend his territory,” says Desai. “His path toward independence as an adult starts with the challenge of learning to define and safeguard his territory. This image illustrates a pivotal life lesson as the mother teaches her cub how to fight, giving a masterclass in survival."
“I caught the fleeting moment as two fish leaped out of the water and passed by an egret.”
“A stunning field of Paepalanthus mirrors the rising sun’s rays, giving the impression of self-luminescence.”
“The genuine tenderness between these wild animals made me smile and serves as a poignant reminder that each living creature has a unique value within our universe.”
“This aerial photo of a frozen lake revealed a symmetrical design not visible at ground level.”
"The moon passing directly between Earth and Sun during an annular eclipse, made this highliner’s experience even more extreme.”
