Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "The essence of a leopard" by truetolifephotography
"An absolutely emotional image that demonstrates the elusiveness and power of the leopard in a dramatic setting. The incoming pose and the placement of the leopard at the upper left draws the viewer's eye in and evokes fear as if the leopard was walking right towards us. The vegetation gave a hint of the habitat the leopard is in. The repeating pattern of the land gives the image a strong graphic design. The play of darkness and the use of spot-lighting to create the mood is masterful and harmonious. A once-a-lifetime shot." - Tin Man Lee
Congratulations Runner Up "on the trip " by Joerg
"The unique and dynamic pose draws the attention. It's almost like a dance in the air. The photographer really showcased the stunning feature of the bat. Then from a second look you realized the bat was carrying her baby, which made it special, showing us how they lived their lives in the darkness. " - Tin Man Lee
Congratulations Runner Up "La Tortuga" by LorenzoMittiga
"Gorgeous pose creating a superb composition extending from the lower left and leads the viewers to the eye. The pattern and texture of the sea turtle are beautifully displayed in this shot." - Tin Man Lee
Congratulations Runner Up "Gator Eye" by jasonhahn
"The details in the blue eye draw the viewer's attention. It's hauntingly beautiful. The dragonfly landing added scale and color to the dark tone. Love the low angle and reflection as well. " - Tin Man Lee
Congratulations Runner Up "Life below the Stars" by Mbeiter

Congratulations Amateur Winner "Out of the Black " by YNot2K
Congratulations People's Choice "From the shadows" by MattGould
"Really evoke the mysterious feeling of the elusive red fox with the creative use of light which creates a nice diagonal light, which adds to the composition, and draws the viewers to the eye. Nice minimalist approach." - Tin Man Lee
