Wind Swept Foxtail Barley: My wife and I traveled by RV to Alaska
during July and August 2012 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.
To define the natural beauty there one word comes to mind - "Majestic".
An awesome trip with thousands of images. This image in particular stood
out from all the rest. We spent about a week in Chicken, Alaska where
the foxtail barley was growing everywhere. I must have taken 50 images
of the barley but this one best conveyed the wave and flowing nature of
the subject and the simple beauty I experienced while photographing
them. (© Jim Cottingham/National Geographic Photo Contest) #

Don't play with war: I was captivated by the scenery before I got my
camera out of my bag. In the foreground a soldier in his bunker and in
the background a Ferris wheel that looked like it had been shot at. The
contrasting dualism in the image struck me before I took the picture.
Square/round, adult world/child world, war/peace. Unfortunately I was
arrested since I was not allowed to take photos of the military, but I
managed to show them a cropped version on my camera screen, displaying
only the Ferris wheel. Photo taken in Beirut, Lebanon. (© Janus

Expedition Amundsen: A race that follows in the path of the famous
explorer Roald Amundsen brings the contestants to the Hardangervidda
Mountainplateu, Norway. 100km across the plateau, the exact same route
Amundsen used to prepare for his South Pole expedition in 1911 is still
used by explorers today. Amundsen did not manage to cross the plateau
and had to turn back because of bad weather. He allegedly said that the
attempt to cross Hardangervidda was just as dangerous and hard as the
conquering of the South Pole. The group in the picture used the race as
preparations for an attempt to cross Greenland. (© Kai-Otto

The Explosion! The subject's name is Busaba, a well cared for
Indochinese Tigress whose home is at Khao Kheow Open Zoo, Thailand. I
had taken many portraits of Busaba previously and it was becoming more
and more difficult to come up with an image that appeared any different
to the others. Which is why I took to observing her more carefully
during my visits in the hope of capturing something of a behavioral
shot. The opportunity finally presented itself while watching Busaba
enjoying her private pool then shaking herself dry. In all humility I
have to say that Mother Nature smiled favorably on me that day! (©

Great White, Sun Light: As I am sitting on top of a suspended
submersible cage, 30 feet below the surface, a 15 foot Great White Shark
swims overhead just starting to block out the sun. I took the shot
right after I had released a breath though my respirator. Photo taken

Close Encounter of the Insect Kind: Check out the awesome face on this
praying mantis. I can't get over the mouth, it's like something from a
science fiction movie. Of all photographic styles macro is definitely my
favorite. I am constantly amazed, in every photo that I take, by the
intricate level of detail that exists on even the smallest of creatures.
It's a stark reminder that a very complex and infinitely beautiful
world exists just beyond our human-sized level of perception. Photo
taken in Donnybrook, Queensland, Australia. (© Andrew Young/National

Canis lupus occidentalis: Wolves have always been a fascination of mine
and I was thrilled when I got the opportunity to photograph a pack one
afternoon. This particular Northwestern female wolf caught my eye
because of her haunting yellow eyes and black coat, I knew I had to
capture her on camera. She stands out beautifully against the green
grass, her golden eyes staring right into the camera, drawing the viewer
in. (© Amy Bell/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Ninja Kangaroos: Young male kangaroos test their strength with "boxing"
matches that mostly occur at dawn. One buck gets in the others face
with its forepaws until the second one concedes and hops away, or stands
up tall and faces its tormentor. Then the two grapple until an
advantage is gained and one rears back onto its tail and kicks out with
both its feet. Here the roo on the left clearly has its opponent on the
retreat. Photo taken at Lake Cootharaba, Sunshine Coast, Queensland,
Australia. (© raoul slater/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Shades: This view of the Ladakh range near Lamayuru, Ladakh, Jammu and
Kashmir, was encountered on my way to Leh. The colors of these ranges
keep on changing as the day progresses. The blue shades of the mountains
enveloped by clouds afar added to the natural contrast with the golden
hue of sun in front. (© Ankur Sharma/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Baitfish Skillfully Use Sea Turtle as Cover: Off of Isla Mujeres,
Mexico, sailfish were circling as baitfish used a sea turtle as cover.
The sailfish successfully attempted on several occasions to slap the
baitfish with their bills (with surgical precision) to disorient them
and have a quick snack before the turtle dove deep to escape the
carnage. (© Scott Belt/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Skull Spider with Spiderlinks No. 001: A Skull Spider is also known as a
Daddy Longlegs. But in this case, the one guarding my front door turned
out to be a Mommy Longlegs. After hours of trial and error, while
standing on a ladder with my head and hands in the Arachnid's web, my
eye to the camera, and using a poor man's macro, I finally got a few
good shots of the mother with her freshly hatched babies held between
her jaws. It was quite a photographic experience, but for days
afterwards I felt like there were spiders crawling all over me. (© Lon

Failed Escape in the Everglades: I was watching three young alligators
when an adult approached. The adult grabbed this one and went
underwater... suddenly it came up to flip the juvenile and eat it.

Life in Hell Valley: In Owakudani, Japan, (also called Great Boiling
Valley or Hell Valley) eggs are hard-boiled in the hot springs. The
boiled eggs turn black and smell slightly sulphuric. Consuming the eggs
is said to increase longevity. Eating one is said to add seven years to
your life. (© Franjo Selinger/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
I See You - Do You See Me? Walking the mountains of the Sacred Valley
in Peru, we came across children in their school playground preparing a
variety of traditional items for a festival celebration later that
night. After a few cautious moments of who is who, we were welcomed into
helping with the preparations. We couldn't speak a word of the local
dialect and had to rely solely on our good friend from the near-by town
of Ollyantaytambo to help with communication. That said, there was far
more communication that passed between all of us without words... the
kind of connection that only giggles and laughter can bring. (© glen

Dead Hippo and One Sharp Crocodile: I was leading a photographic safari
in Zambia's, South Luangwa National Park. It was already dark and we
came across a dead Hippo upside down in the river. The Crocodiles were
busy feeding on it and there was a lot of movement in the water -- the
distance was quiet far, but I could manage to take a picture using
artificial light, the camera mounted on a tripod and a long-time
exposure (5 seconds). (© Stephan Tuengler/National Geographic Photo

A Refreshing Sight on a Hot Day: On August 27, 2012, my husband and I
were photographing wildlife in the Jasper area, when we decided to go to
the Maligne Lake Lodge for a bite to eat. While walking up to the
building, Terry exclaimed "is that a Moose swimming in the lake?!" Sure
enough, the Moose swam across part of the lake, then proceeded to stand
in the water, submerging her head to feed on the vegetation at the
bottom. I sat on the shore and snapped several photos, including this
one. What an exciting experience that was for us! (© Cathy

Atlantic Spotted Dolphins having an underwater chat: These three
Atlantic Spotted Dolphins were acting playful for a few minutes so I
swam over to join in. When I got close the dolphins came together as if
they were going to discuss my presence. One of them seemed to say
something then they did a little dance and were on their way. Amazing
animals, I felt very lucky to capture the moment. Photo taken on White
Sand Ridge on Little Bahama Bank, Bahamas. (© John Gaskell/National

California Football: As the sun sets on the Eagles home field at the
California School for the Deaf in Freemont, the Richmond High Oilers try
to overcome a 31 point deficit in the first half. The Oilers held a
state high losing streak at 39 losses in 2005. In 2012 season, they have
yet to win a game. If the past is any preview of the future, chances
dwindle that they will win as the season continues. Due to academic
struggles, asthma and other issues that haunt the city of Richmond, many
players do not see the season to its completion. (© Lauren Kate

Secluded Pier at Lake Brunner: I was on my 170km solo cycling trip
