Wildscapes Photo Contest Winners
There's something truly magical about being in the presence of animals in their natural habitat. Whether it's witnessing a mother elephant care for her calf or watching a pride of lions take down a wildebeest, there's no shortage of amazing moments to capture.
A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Richard Bernabe for his collaboration in this photo contest as a master judge. Richard is an internationally-renowned nature, wildlife, and travel photographer as well as widely-published author from the United States. His passion for adventure has been the driving force behind his life’s quest to capture the moods and character of the world’s most amazing places, from Africa to the Amazon to the Arctic and countless places in between. Richard was named one of the “Top 30 Influential Photographers on the Web” by the Huffington Post.
"The emotive "pensiveness" really touches me on this one and it is executed perfectly. The processing fits the image just right." - Richard Bernabe
"It's essentially a pattern image and the pattern fills the frame. The two adult king penguins break the pattern and provide both a strong focal point and a strong contrast. Well executed technically." - Richard Bernabe
"The light, power, and drama really move me. The unconventional composition works great and it emotes a feeling of wildness that transcends the literal visual elements." - Richard Bernabe
