Fox Glance: During a regular trip through the forest, of which my actual intent was landscapes, I encountered this stunning little Red Fox. The moment came as the light broke through the clouds and trees, he turned with a glance of curiosity and gave me the unusual composition I was after. A scene I'll never be lucky enough to see again in my life, so was over the moon I'd managed to capture the moment. Location: Thetford Forest, England.

Endless Journey: Taken at Mishima town in Fukushima prefecture, Japan. The first train goes across the railway bridge through in morning mist. The train moves forward little by little slowly. I thought, this sight has expressed the Fukushima people defying to recover from the earthquake and nuclear accident. But it is an uncertain endless journey.

Sky Swimmer: After looking for a green sea turtle nest for a long time, I found one. I was staying in the water close to the beach, and many turtles came in the sea, trying to go the ocean. One of them came straight toward me and I put my camera lens just below the surface. Location: Tikehau Island, Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia (© Vincent Truchet/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Bright Canopy: While studying in Florence, Italy, I went on a trip throughout Europe. The first stop was in Berlin, Germany, where we rented bikes and rode throughout the city. While visiting the Jewish Museum I stood under a group of trees and noticed the great interaction of hand-like branches with the light coming through the canopy of leaves.

Omohara: "Omohara" is not only a geographical crossing of Omotesando and Harajuku,but also variety of styles and culture are come and go. Omotesando is town of adult where high brand's buildings put together the eaves. On the other hand, Harajuku is town of young where born the new culture. Omohara is a place that new culture and old culture are fusion. And leading the art and culture of Japan always. (© Teruo Araya/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Where the Buffalo roam: I had been in Teton National Park for 5 days and hadn't yet seen the tops of the Teton Range due to non stop storm systems moving through. October can be like that in this majestic part of America. Large herds of bison roam free in this park as well as in Yellowstone, just to the north. It is an awe inspiring sight indeed. After taking pictures of this herd, I felt that I had been "shut out" as the mountain peaks had still not been revealed to me. It wasn't until I looked at the pictures on my computer that I realized that in a few frames, the peaks had been revealed. What a great surprise. (© Glen Hush/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Manta-Art: An Alfredi manta ray came close to me with her mouth open on a cleaning station area off Tikehau island, Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia. (© Vincent Truchet/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Orta Lake Storm Chasing: I have spent the entire summer chasing thunderstorms all around Italy. I usually stand in front of the camera, to modify the parameters according to lighting's distance and intensity. This time I was in a very dangerous situation, I was completely surrounded by lightning strikes, so I chose to leave the camera on the tripod shooting in automatic mode. I spent about 15 minutes on the ground, as far as I could from any conducting material, and I protected my eyes and my ears hoping for the best. When I finally looked to the pictures I was very impressed by the size and intensity of the storm. (© Riccardo Criseo/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Rainbow Over the Himalayas: Shot from the small town of Khangsar, Nepal. We arrived after a full day of hiking. We stayed in a teahouse with a view because I wanted to be ready to take pictures of the mountains as the sun set behind us. This rainbow formed and I took many photos of this beautiful moment.

The Sunsetter: An EF-4 tornado rips through the open space of farmland near Rozel, Kansas. This tornado moves slowly but powerful towards the setting sun an gets its beautiful color right before sunset. Storm Chasers are spotting on the left side.

Crows Nest: The crows that live in Tokyo use clothes hangers to make nests. In such a large city, there are few trees, so the natural materials that crows need to make their nests are scarce. As a result, the crows occasionally take hangers from the people who live in apartments nearby, and carefully assemble them into nests. The completed nests almost look like works of art based on the theme of recycling. (© Yosuke Kashiwakura/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Deer Calling: This was taken early morning while at Richmond Park, London, in Late October. (© Prashant Meswani/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Oscar - the Booby from Darwin: On diving trip to Darwin Island in the Galapagos, our boat was visited by a large group of Red Footed Boobies. One of my friends named this curious little fellow Oscar. He was very curious and seemed to like to pose for the camera. (© Joakim Wedlund/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Mara: We just wanted to search for a Leopard that morning, but we found a group of giraffes moving toward a small lake and start drinking. It was a nice moment when the Giraffe finished and left a letter "S" shape in the air. Location: Kenya. (© Majed al Zaabi/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Last Light on Half Dome: The sun had dipped below the clouds but still above the horizon, painting the face of Half Dome and the walls of Tenaya Canyon with amazing light. (© Douglas Croft/National Geographic Photo Contest) #

Amazing Midwinter Sunset (4:30pm): November 6th, 2013 - at approximately 4:15 pm we were all watching this amazing batman-like beam coming over the dyke on the upstream side of the Yukon River which was just beginning to freeze. I grabbed a camera, made my way over towards the river and discovered this amazing scene. As we are heading towards the shortest day of the year, the sun usually disappears between 4:30-4:45 pm. (© Andrea Magee/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Cows And Kites: I was driving along the beach highway when I noticed the bulls sunbathing on the empty beach. I initially thought i was seeing things,but no it really was sunbathing cows! I had to park my car a fair distance away and that meant a long walk along the beach in 35 degree heat. When I got closer to them I was careful not to spook them, so I crawled on my stomach on the hot sand to get a good picture. Mission Accomplished! Location: Tarifa Beach, Andalucia, Spain. (© Andrew Lever/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Asking For Trouble: We saw this impressive male lion on our way from Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park to Mabuasehube Game Reserve. He was lying right next to the sandy tracks and I don't know who got more scared when we almost hit him. But as quickly as he jumped up to eye our car suspiciously he laid down again and we got the opportunity to watch him for half an hour and to take some nice pictures of this majestic animal.

Red Fox and Northern Lights: A beautiful red fox is photographed with the Aurora Borealis outside of Bethel, Alaska. This shot was taken during a spectacular display of the northern lights. (© Greg Lincoln/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Fall Moose: I was fortunate to come across this moose having his evening meal in the Snake River, in Wyoming. He had chosen an excellent backdrop for his dining and the least I could do was get a snapshot of it. (© Glen Hush/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
In Spirals: When you study the flower of life, you will begin to see that all life is built in spirals. Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands. (© Harjen Woltjer/National Geographic Photo Contest) #

Hold My Hand: Westley Wade was born prematurely at 28 weeks due to complications with pre-eclampsia. In this image, his adoring parents were just told that depending on test results their baby who weighed less than 2 pounds could potentially need heart surgery. As his parents emotionally looked down at him through cords and wires, this warrior newborn (4 day old) baby boy Westley shot his hand up straight for them as if to let them know, that everything would in fact, be alright. Gratefully, it was and is. Westley is now 10 pounds 9 oz at 4.5 months and continues to amaze everyone who crosses his path. Location: BC Womens Hospital, Vancouver, BC.

Hungry Eyes: On a trip to Bandhavgarh, India, while chasing tell-tale monkey alarm calls in search of tigers we huddled up in an open gypsy on a chilly, though sunny, morning. As we waited in silence we heard a crashing through the bushes right behind the car and a frightened sambhar ran out. As the bush behind us rustled again we turned towards the sight and photo opportunity of a lifetime. The bush right behind our car crackled and suddenly parted as a tiger thrust his neck out and snarled at us from about a meter from the car. (© Vamini Sethi/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
The Messengers: Taken on May 26th, 2013, this was a dissipating low precipitation thunderstorm near Broken Bow, Nebraska, that produced one of the best lightning shows I have ever witnessed in my storm chasing career. Even more beautiful was when the lightning lit up these incredible mammatus clouds in the night sky. These type of clouds are often associated with severe thunderstorms, and their ominous and foreboding appearance is a message to all that severe weather may be on its way. (© Anne Goforth/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
The Suri Tribe: The Suri tribe lives in the southwest Omo valley in Ethiopia. They grow sorghum and cattle work, and are nomadic, changing area regularly. The government intends to relocate the villages in order to exploit their land. There have been many victims due to clashes with the government, the worst incident taking place in December of 2012, when almost the whole village of Beyahola was murdered.

Fanfare: Winter season means big waves on Kauai and slightly cooler temperatures. When the first large swell passed through the islands I embarked on my inaugural wave hunting expedition. It's a tricky dance of timing, being patient, and juggling settings on the camera. (© Lace Andersen/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Keeping Warm: The Konomiya Naked Festival, held annually in cold winter weather, is one of the oldest Japanese festivals dating back to the Nara Period (710-794 A.D.). The participants are men, mostly of the ages 24, 42 and 61 which are considered unlucky in Japan. By taking part in the festival they are hoping to avoid the bad luck. Photographed in Konomiya, Japan. (© Julian Krakowiak/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Fishing Huts (Rorbuer) in the Lofoten Islands: I was walking in late January across a bridge in Reine, a town in the Lofoten Islands in northern Norway, during one of the few hours of daylight at this time of year. Looking across the fjord, I saw these traditional fishing huts (rorbuer) and wooden racks to dry cod perched on top of the craggy rocks. (© Mia Bennett/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Before the Holy Bath: Naga Sadhus, considered by many to be holy people in India, are waiting to start a parade to the holy waters of Ganges river during Kumhb Mela in Allahabad, India. (© Konstantino Hatzisarros/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Ray of Hope: A break in the jungle canopy above allowed a large beam of sunlight to penetrate into the cave, near Cancun, Mexico. This happen only very briefly each day. It is a magical moment to watch the curtain of light dance in the water. A free diver swims across the scene to show the scale of the place. (© Aaron Wong/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Circle of Light: A 180 degrees rainbow paints the sky, creating a bridge between earth and sky. I was hiking under the rain up in the Dolomites, in the Catinaccio Range close to Paolina hut, Trentino, Italy, waiting for a summer sunset, when the sky magically opened up and the sunlight made the rest. (© Alessandro Gruzza/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Red Hill: This hill is covered with Kokia. It is planted in summer, and grows red in autumn. Sunlight was shining on the Kokia at dusk. It looks like a burning hill. Photographed in Hitachi Seaside Park, Japan. (© Hideyuki Katagiri/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Frozen Frog: After a some days with temperature below freezing point, I was out skating at some lakes at the outskirts of Oslo in Norway. After a while I noticed something on the ice. To my astonishment it was a dead frozen frog. (© Svein Nordrum/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Namgyal Tsemo Monastery, Ladakh, India: The last rays of the day light up Namgyal Tsemo Monastery above Leh, Ladakh, India. (© Robert van Sluis/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Paddling Dreams: What I love so much about stand up paddle boarding is its ability to transport one, surrounded by nature, to a quiet, meditative state. I had the opportunity to photograph a night time version of this on a moonlit, windless September evening. Specially made waterproof LED lights are attached to the base of the boards which illuminate the water below allowing the paddlers to see fish like squid, striped bass and blue fish otherwise invisible in the darkness. The paddlers headed out around sunset and standing on a nearby jetty photographing down, what I saw was just beautiful and surreal. Photographed in Sesuit Harbor in Dennis, Massachusetts.

A Fine Balance: Walking in the forests of Mana Pools in Zimbabwe is a massive privilege, and even more so when you can spend time with the gentle giants that call this little Eden home. The older bulls of the Zambezi Valley have a few tricks up their sleeves... and this is the one I love to see best. Seeing these behemoths rock up on their hind legs with the grace of a ballerina is something to behold. To witness this on foot only a couple of meters away is mind-blowing. (© Morkel Erasmus/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Arctic Ice: A thin line of sea ice on the horizon divides the almost perfect reflection of stunning calm blue sea and clear sky. Taken in the Arctic Ocean during a scientific research cruise on board the RRS James Clark Ross the ripples created by the ship can just be seen in the bottom right corner. An iceberg floated past soon after and broke the symmetry. (© Helen Smith/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Entering the Inferno: Forced to find new river crossing points in the Serengeti-Mara region of Eastern Africa, the wildebeest descend into individual despair and collective chaos. Fast currents and steep banks all but deny escape onto the tree-covered banks. New arrivals try unsuccessfully to scramble over the lead group that cannot climb quickly enough onto the available dry ground. Such scenes may become more common as the Great Migration faces more variable climate and narrower corridors from changing land-use. (© Karen Lunney/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Death of a Village: 2013 marks the 5th year villagers have passively resisted a hostile land grab from real estate developers. Xian cun sits as the last remaining thousand year old village to be demolished, replaced by a shopping mall. The remaining three hundred villagers have endured their livelihoods being disrupted, their neighborhoods demolished and their friends and family under constant harassment as they try to keep their village from becoming just another statistic in China's Real Estate boom.

Back to the Sea: A yellow-wing flying fish (Cypselurus poecilopterus) glided back to the smooth surface with reflection. Photographed near Hualien, Taiwan. (© Ray Chin/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Perfect Storm: Wedged between the rocks just out of reach of these 10 meter, waves the camera's tripod held down by large rocks against the 120 kph winds, I was drenched in no time. waiting for the sun to break through the storm clouds was a cold experience and when it did I could only fire off a few shots before the lens became a blur of salt water. Worth it to capture an intimate moment with one of the first of the Atlantic Winter storms on Ireland's west coast. (© Chris May/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Summer Loving: I'm a happy person living in a tropical underwater paradise, the Cayman Islands. In summertime, thousands of silvery fish arrive and going for a dive is all the travel I need! Wonderful time! (© Ellen Cuylaerts/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
A Node Glows in the Dark...: In the last 10 years, mobile data, smart phones and social networks have forever changed our existence. Although this woman stood in the center of a jam-packed train, the warm glow from her phone tells the strangers around her that she's not really here. She manged to slip away from here, for a short moment, she's a node flickering on the social web, roaming the earth, free as a butterfly. Photo was taken on a 5 minute Captain Nemo ride connecting two playgrounds in Ocean Park in Hong Kong. (© Brian Yen/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Generations: A little lion cub watching the zebra with his mother one lazy afternoon. Masai Mara, Kenya. (© Mark Bridger/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
Stranger Beneath the Sea: A young village boy leaps from his dugout canoe and dives down to investigate me in my scuba gear, as I exhale bubbles and hold out my a huge underwater camera dome! The villagers of Alor, Indonesia continue to live off the sea, mostly fishing with hand-lines and handmade wooden fish traps. The joy and innocence of the children in these communities is inescapable. (© Shawn Heinrichs/National Geographic Photo Contest) #
