"Territorial Hippo." I was on a photographic safari in Chobe River, Botswana in April 2016 when I took this image. At this time of the year the water levels are high and herds of hippopotamus share the tributaries. This particular bull was very territorial and liked to mock charge whenever our boat (driven by a qualified local guide) passed his patch of the river on our daily outings. On this occasion, I pre-focussed my 600mm lens and fired a few shots at a safe distance and got this golden hour shot! #© Sam Kurtul / 2016 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year
"The Rolling Fields of Palouse." Often referred to as the Tuscany of America, the Palouse region of Washington State offers one of the most beautiful scenic drives in the United States. The seemingly endless rolling fields of wheat, lentils, and canola offer year-round beauty for those [who] choose to take in the spectacular landscape. #© Hamish Mitchell / 2016 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year
"Paradise for Flamingoes 2." Thousands of flamingoes live in Lake Bogoria [in Kenya] where it's like paradise for them. #© Yu Huiping / 2016 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year
"From Floor to Cloud." In Pienza, Tuscany, I was waiting for this lightning! #
