This is a highly intriguing and creative image. You do a great job capturing a man made addiction in a different context, which makes this photo very interesting. The lighting is beautiful and really forces the viewer to focus on the subject. Great job!

This is such a sweet photo! It shows a real gentle side of the relationship between humans and nature, and the contrast between an adult hand and a baby bird cradled in it works well. The lighting in this shot is exceptional and I love the way you framed this with the brightest light firmly anchored in the middle third of the shot. Nice work!

This is a beautiful shot! It has depth and mood, and tells a heartbreaking story in a powerful way. Excellent decision to present this image as black and white, the timelessness of monochrome works with the story it tells, as does the high contrast of this image. Wonderful photograph!

This photograph leaves the viewer with a wonderfully adventurous feel! The composition of the road disappearing into the vastness of the mountain wilderness, seems limitless and very wild. You captured the landscape lighting and colors brilliantly! Fantastic work, this is stunning!

Brilliant image! I love the excellent use of lines to draw the contrast between the human created environment and the natural sky. The birds cutting through the skyline tell a story about the complex interplay between the human world and nature. Great job!

Wow, there is a profound story being told by this photo! It shows a harsh side of nature against the vulnerability of man. The contrast between the texture of the subject and the foreground fits very nicely with the story it tells. Excellent job!

Street photography is an interesting genera to explore the intercession between humans and nature, and you do that expertly with this image! The obliviousness of the human world to the wildlife sneaking an existence within it is captured perfectly! Fantastic composition and great story!

I’m a big fan of this image! The message of nature taking back over humanity is perfectly captured, and the mood is very peaceful and serene. The color pallet is stunning in the lighting and you captured that perfectly. This is a beautiful image!

For this contest I want to see your photos that tell stories of the intersection between the human world and the natural world. Images can tell positive, negative, or neutral stories, such as impacts of pollution, wildlife trade, conservation work, ecological research, habitat encroachment, etc. The key is to tell the story with the image, not the caption. Images can be colour or black and white.

I love this image!! It tells an interesting and powerful story, and let’s the viewer create their own narrative of how the human world sees itself in relation to animals. Presenting it in sepia creates a very fitting mood. Well done, this is an exceptional photograph!
