1st PLACE!
KING OF THE CASTLE.

MATTHEUNS PRETORIUS, SOUTH AFRICA.

"I spotted a mother cheetah and her two cubs on a misty morning in the Kruger National Park. The cubs were very playful, making sure to jump on every single fallen tree stump in their path. It was a sort of 'king of the castle' game to see who could reach the top first. This photo was my favorite."

"I love this photo for the scale of the environment that it shows, a huge magnificent iceberg and two tiny .

I appreciate that in this instance the wildlife takes a back seat in order to show the grandeur of Antarctica. A wonderful example of a wildlife environmental shot and reminds us of how much we stand to lose if we don't take care of our planet." Jennifer Hadley

HONORABLE MENTIONS

DINOSAUR CROSSING. Leighton Lum, USA.

This was taken on my last night in Morondava in Madagascar. As I was looking for a spot to photograph sunset in Madagascar's famous Baobab alley my guide spotted this amazing chameleon crossing the road.

THE MAJESTIC GATHERING. Remi Vacher, UAE.

While driving in Masai Mara, I noticed a really large shadow in the far distance. When getting closer, I understood it was a group of majestic elephant gathered under the lonely tree.

SWAN ON ICE. Jean-Simon Begin. Canada.

In the middle of winter, on thin ice, this group of swans rested before continuing their migration.

THE PLASTIC GIFT. Roberto Melotti, Italy.

During the courtship period the Great crested grebes usually exchange gifts, generally seaweed. This photo shows a grebe donating a piece of plastic mistaken for succulent seaweed. By now plastic is everywhere: in the oceans, in the seas, in the lakes, in the rivers...

THE NATAL CONNECTION. Vetri Duraiswamy, India.

In the heart of Bwindi’s impenetrable Forest, an encounter with the mysterious mountain
gorillas awaits. This image captures their essence, as their piercing gazes evoke a sense of
connection and awe. In the tender moments of familial bonds and the wisdom etched in their
eyes.

THE HUNT. Matrishva Vyas, India.

Cheetah hunts a relatively larger sized Topi antelope in Kenya's Maasai Mara. The mid action shot of a hunt with dust and determination on cheetahs body language is captured.
