Simplicity makes for the best images in my opinion. And this one is not an exception ! The reflection of this seabird on a cold but almost oily looking ocean is remarkable and the feeling that comes out of it is very pleasing. I feel like this picture makes me travel to cold oceans and I can really imagine being in such a place just by looking at it. Congratulations on a very poetic and peaceful image.

What a stunning image. I absolutely love how the fox disappears in the background. This emphasises the elusive nature of this animal and reflects how camouflage is a key to its success. I also love how the face stands out and it well focused as it draws the eye directly to the subject. A brilliant shot, congratulations !

I want to see your best photos of any of the incredible animals that roam wild in the Arctic. From Arctic fox, to reindeer but also killer whales or polar bears, this can include pictures of both land and marine animals. The photos can be taken in any season but the animals must be in the wild; no caged, domestic nor zoo animals.

I really like how this picture differs from the other entered in the contest. The perspective and distance to the subject are very interesting and make for a unique shot ! In my opinion, this picture could benefit from another format (maybe 6:4 or 16:9) more adapted to a landscape picture. Otherwise it is a very original and beautiful shot !

A peaceful moment that has been brilliantly captured. I really appreciate the use of the black and white in this picture. The fact that the faces of all three bears are visible obviously makes for a fantastic shot. I would maybe say that the subject is a bit too much in the center of the image but this is truly secondary. Well done on a wonderful picture !

This image is a beautiful portrait of an arctic wolf. However, the contest is about arctic animals in the wild and animals that are in captivity (even sanctuaries) are not on brief. This is why I could not put this image higher in the contest... But well done on a truly beautiful shot !
