“Leopard Hunting a Stork”. “One-shot capture. I watched the leopard stalking the stork, I only had time to focus at 400mm, no time to change to high speed, I watched the stork, and as soon as it flapped its wings, I shot one shot”.

“Grand Canyon Just After the Rain”. “Just at sunrise, a storm approached the South Rim, and I almost packed my gear. But it cleared temporarily, giving me this amazing view from Powell Point. My first trip to this magnificent landmark left me speechless while I was taking this shot”. (Photo by Naresh Balaguru/National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest)“Coordillera”. “After this shot, I have been traveling the same route several times. I could not see the landscape I saw when I shot this picture again. That morning the light and shadows over the coordillera were just perfect. The moment I had to shoot this series will remain in my memory as a special gift from nature”. (Photo by Karsten Hoenack/National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest)
