Второе место. “This ice could be thousands of years old, and only recently broke off the Vatnajokull Glacier at Jokulsarlon Bay in Iceland, and will soon melt into the sea. Taken July 2017 in Iceland.” Photo by Andre Mercier, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Третье место. “Down at the mud puddles on our road, we found several young bullfrogs hopping around. Up on our hilltop, wet spots are few and far between, so our mud puddles are home to a constant flow of tadpoles, frogs and toads. My daughter loves all critters, her goal is to create a wildlife rehab center someday. She constantly inspires me with her care towards every living thing.” Photo by Terra Fondriest, Arkansas, USA.
Города и природа. “World Trade Center, New York. November 2017.” Photo by Yonca Ables, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA.
Города и природа. Брошенный город. ОАЭ. “The eeriness of exploring this ghost town in United Arab Emirates went away after an hour or so of exploring. But, I still felt uneasy about entering some of these ‘homes.’ It felt like I was trespassing, so I tried being oddly respectful. The Arabian Desert obviously didn’t feel the same way, reminding me that nature will always reclaim what we abandon.” Photo by Jesse Yang, Fort Lee, New Jersey, USA.
Города и природа. “Lion Rock is a symbol of Hong Kong, including me, many Hong Kong people are also growing under the mountain, it also represents the spirit of Hong Kong people. Photo time: 2018-1-14. Photo at: Tai Mo Shan.” Photo by Kwok Kui Andus Tse, Wong Tai Sin, Hong Kong, China.

Особое упоминание жюри. “On the Kīlauea Lava Flow in Kalapana, lava hits the ocean creating an explosion of molten basalt rocks and acidic steam plumes skyward. When hot lava vaporizes cool sea water it blasts lava rock fragments every direction and creates a billowing cloud of laze ‘lava haze’ made up of a mixture of acidic seawater steam, hydrochloric acid, and tiny shards of volcanic glass.” Photo by Elyse Butler, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.
Пейзаж. “Colima volcano erupting during the night showing its strength, was taken in the Yerbabuena, Comala, Colima. Volcanic eruptions in small quantities help reduce global warming.”) Photo by Hernando Alonso Rivera Cervantes, Villa de Alvarez, Mexico.

I couldn’t resist and stopped the group to get this shot. Sossusvlei, Namibia. 17/11/17.” Photo by Paul Zizka, Banff, Alberta, Canada.

Люди и природа. “Victoria Falls is the seventh wonder of the world. Carved into the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, what better place for two nationalities to meet, and be awed by the never ending thunder of the water 100 meters below. December 2016.” Photo by Harry Randell, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

Жюри определило победителей и призеров на фотоконкурсе всемирной некоммерческой организации The Nature Conservancy. На конкурс в этом году из 135 стран были получены рекордные 57 489 заявок. Фотографы должны были представить свои лучшие работы в пяти различных категориях: "Пейзаж", "Вода", "Люди и природа", "Дикая природа", "Города и природа".

Главный приз достался француженке Камилле Бриотте за ее потрясающий образ двух жеребцов, резвящихся на заливных лугах Камарга. Снимок подчеркивает радость и красоту этих животных, играющих на воле. С ними контрастирует кадр американского фотограф Андре Мерсье, занявший второе место. Зловещий образ тающей льдины, которая некогда была частью большого ледника, является потрясающим напоминанием о том, что человечество проигрывает борьбу за сохранение природы в первозданном виде.

"Качество фотографий в этом году потрясающее. Было очень сложно выбрать победителя", - сказал Билл Марр, директор по фотографии The Nature Conservancy и один из судей конкурса. "Фотоконкурс TNC - прекрасное место встречи для тех, кто любит природу и тех, кто любит фотографию. У нас есть замечательные снимки со всего мира, от величественных пейзажей Дикого запада до белок на заднем дворе в Австрии. Фотография - общий язык для всех ".
