Masters of disguise. The Eastern Screech Owl is seen here doing what they do best. You better have a sharp eye to spot these little birds of prey. (© Graham McGeorge/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #

A group of 12-14 hyenas were chasing a herd of 7-8 elephants. The elephant herd included 2 adult females, a few teenagers, and a baby that was a few days old (belonging to one of the adult females). The hyenas were trying to get at the baby. In this picture, the mother is kicking at the hyenas. (© Jayesh Mehta/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #

This tabular iceberg floats majestically in the Southern Ocean a few miles from South Georgia Island. Formerly a whaling station, the island is now an Antarctic research center. It was the ultimate destination of Ernest Shackelton's desperate rescue voyage in 1916. (© Sue Volek/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
I have been traveling around the world and parts of Asia for the last six months and this is a shot I took at Tiger Palace in Bangkok, this is one of just a few tiger sanctuaries in Thailand that do not drug the animals, and because of this they sometimes get incredibly playful, here the tigers are having a play fight in some water. What was truly amazing was the speed at which they move, one minute they are 200 yards away, the next, they are right next to you staring down like they are deciding how you taste! (© Daniel Sakal/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
This picture is not a photo of painting, landscape nor I have used any Photoshop except minor cropping, rotation and converting from raw to jpeg. It is colored threads/wool hanging from the wall in an amazing way with a nail head coming out in between. I tried to create a feeling of moon and sea.

The view from our hotel room in the San Blas district of Cusco. This area of town overlooked the rest of the city and gave us a breathtaking view as the sun and rain mixed one evening. (© Blake Burton/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
I have seen alligators and turtles together in ponds before, but never like this! I was at Bluebill Pond in Harris Neck NWR when I saw what I thought was an alligator sunning itself on a stump. As I got closer I realized that it was actually perched on the back of a turtle! I wish I had been there to witness how this surprising esprit de corps had came to pass!

Imagine yourself as this lone tree, standing in the snow waves. Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. (© Victor Liu/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
This picture was taken at the majestic Iguazu Falls, Misiones, Argentina. The flight of this flock of swifts across the huge waterfalls portrays the sense of freedom and wildness that belongs to this fantastic world wonder.

While on safari in Kruger National Park we watched a coalition of four male cheetahs crossing the plain. This one got distracted and fell behind. Once he noticed the others were gone, he sprinted to catch up. I caught him nicely with a slow shutter pan. (© Douglas Croft/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
Kauai is a wild and magical place. It invokes a sense of freedom, appreciation, and love. At this particular beach waves rebound and crash off of lava rocks and cliffs forming into interesting shapes. (© Lace Andersen/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
A fascinating and breathtaking view of the Cappadocia morning breeze, in Turkey. (© Reynaldi Herdinanto/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #

Eruption of the Cordon Caulle, Chile. This was taken from Antillanca mountain. However despite the distance, the sound was awesome and was the most incredible experiences of my life with my uncle, who accompanied me that night. (© Rival Gustavo/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
I took this photograph near the spillway of Jordan lake dam shortly after the Osprey returned to my area for the 2013 season. Early in the spring, you can find them fishing at the base of the dam. I love photographing wildlife, but have a special place in my heart for any type of raptor. (© Brad Lenear/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #

This great white shark struck directly from below with such force that it leapt entirely clear of the water. Gansbaai, South Africa, where this image was taken, is one of the only places in the world where the sharks exhibit this behavior. (© Thomas Pepper/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
This image is shot in Kampung Pulo in East Jakarta. This village is unique with their various colors and plenty and maze like alleyways. I waited for a perfect moment on this dark alley when a child went out of his home and ran through the alley to meet his friends to play. (© Michael Ken/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
Spring arrives in Sweden and the ice finally starts to melt on Lake Vättern. What started out as this year's first stand-up paddle trip with my best friend ended up as a weird photo shoot, in Hjo, Sweden. (© Jesper Anhede/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #

Young monks begin their service very early in life in their studies in the monastery. This monk was young and energetic and decided to "fly" in his exuberance for life. (© Bonnie Stewart/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
Returning from a snorkeling excursion during a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, wind speed dropped to zero and the ocean became a mirror. As the horizon disappeared, only the seaplane, sitting confidently between the blue elements, provided a sense of space and felt like a link to the rest of the world. (© Christian Roth/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
At the foot of the active Bromo Volcano, on the Island of Java lies the Hindu Temple Pura Luhur Poten which is often immersed in a soft mist at dusk. On this day Mount Bromo showed unusually strong activity, which lead to a exceptionally high and dense dust cloud. (© Tim Jenka/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
I had to wait seven years for the perfect weather conditions, also for the appearance of the bird. Portree, Isle of Skye, Scotland. (© Frank Heumann/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
The Great Smoky Mountains are known for the synchronous fireflies during each early summer. This year I spent 3 consecutive nights in early June staying in mountain area trying to capture this phenomenon. I was so lucky to witness a spectacular light show on an actual rainstorm night. I left my camera there for an 1.5 hour exposure. There were tens of thousands of fireflies dancing around using their light to paint the scene in front of me and I was the only audience of their light show.

This picture was taken in Spain - Parque natural "Sierra de Grazalema". In small meadow ponds live slightly eutrophic freshwater algae. These algae live with herbaceous plants and when the ponds freeze, attractive compositions are created. Here we see frozen bubbles and lines formed in thawing ice. I used a macro lens because this wild geranium leaf is very small. (© Andres Miguel Dominguez/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
Basalt sea stacks called Reynisdrangar, located under the Reynisfjall mountain, close to Vik i Myrdal in southern Iceland. Legend says there were three trolls who were pulling a three-masted ship to the shore unsuccessfully, but they were caught by the sunlight at dawn and turned into needles of rock. (© Florin Szoke/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
The eruption of Cordon Caulle began on June 4, 2011, located in the Region of Los Rios in Chile. For about 12 months, people and animals became accustomed to living with the daily fall of ash, which also caused problems in the air traffic in South America. The explosions and lightning during first days of the eruption could be seen from hundreds of miles around. This photograph was taken on the second night of eruption from the town of Lago Ranco.

I found these rings in the center of Taipei on a morning stroll with my son. They were hanging in front of a store where they sell bottled gas. (© Maarten Deurvorst/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
A lone tree in the Palouse region of Washington state glows brilliantly in the sunlight as clouds pass by, isolating it in a band of light. Undulating hills provide depth to the lit scene, captured during the brief growing season where the wheat is a rich shade of green. (© Jesse Summers/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
It's just past 8am and most are already in for a while. As the sun rises and reveals Bali's Gunung Agung volcano in the far distance, more and more men gather in the sea and paint the horizon with their silhouettes as far as the eye can see. They fish for very small fish and will stand here for many hours, until well beyond noon, to fill the bags they carry on their hips. Many of them wear life jackets because they cannot swim. Their hats come in all sorts and shapes and double as toolkits, with pouches glued to the inside or outside to keep their gear and cigarettes within easy reach. (© Willem Sorm/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
I went to Nairobi to shoot a film for an NGO. During our shoot at a school in Mathare slum, I took shelter from the heat and chaos in a school, and stumbled upon these sleepyheads. I put my camera on my monopod, self-timer mode, and held it up high. (© Joe Saade/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
A natural ocean swirl taken from a seaplane while trying to photograph the largest sea turtle I had ever seen, near Whitehaven, Australia. The sea turtle decided to take an instant nose dive and escaped. (© Vincent Archer/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
A reflection of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in the basin of the fountain opposite the mosque where the main dome of the mosque appears. Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. (© Dhafer Al shehri/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
Snorkeling with a Humpback whale has always been one of my dreams. When this whale (approx. 12m long) swam past me I felt it really looked at me, an amazing unforgettable moment! My mind stopped, time seemed to stop... eye to eye with such a majestic and gentle creature. Swimming with Whales in Tonga is well organized and part of their eco tourism. I will certainly do this again. (© Conni Weise/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
Renny Bijoux, youth ambassador from the Seychelles, participating in the Greenpeace North Pole expedition. The team, most of them without any previous polar experience, skied to the North Pole and lowered a capsule 4.3 Km onto the sea bed, containing signatories to their campaign to protect the Arctic from industrial development.

After a rainy afternoon at the Grand Canyon, I was gifted with this "Grand" view wrapped in a beautiful rainbow. (© Cathy Smart/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
In Chukotka, the easternmost part of Russia and the Eurasian continent, hunting for marine mammals has always been the basis for survival of the local people. Most important for getting the every day food is to hunt the walrus. Even today the hunters are using harpoons thrown by hand. For a foreigner it was very cumbersome to get to the area, but also a very interesting travel. (© Uno Johansson/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
Taken on Maui, Hawaii. Every night at sunset there is a cliff diving ceremony at Black Rock. (© Josh Baker/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
Iranian Shi'a Muslim men, in trance and covered in mud, mourning during the Day of Ashura, on which Shi'a Muslims commemorate the martyrdom of Husayn, grandson of Mohammad, and third shi'a imam. The mud is an important part of the local mourning ritual. Shot in the town of Bijar, Iran. (© Guido Dingemans/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
I was in Iceland driving to another destination when I came across this abandoned stone structure. Even though the roof was gone, the walls appeared determined to hold strong. (© Adrian Fiorino/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
In the rainy season, insects are in abundance in the Kalahari desert. Outside my tent is a big light that attracts lots of bugs. The Bibron's geckos take advantage and perch themselves anywhere close to the light-source and have a feast. The glow from what remains of my fire. (© Hannes Lochner/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #

Its like a dream when you are swimming with harmless jellyfish, in Palau. (© CheanChong Lim/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
My first time in Africa and this giraffe on the horizon, contrasted against the burnt orange sky, was the exact image I had in my minds eye of what I was hoping it would look like. (© Dave Young/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
Sea Sky. I was on top of a mountain on the island of Capri, and shot this photo while looking down at the sea below. (© Diako Mardanbeigi/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #
