The sharpness of the anemone and corals in this photo is amazing. The pink, red and purple colors are incredibly challenging to capture underwater, especially at depth. The depth of field in this photo provides a nice contrast between the anemone and the mounds of corals in the background. The background school of fish also creates a sense of liveliness in the reef.

This is truly an incredible photo. The cloudy, gray sky creates a dramatic backdrop against the giraffes that are standing just as tall as the adjacent trees. The photo is captivates its audience as all the giraffes are all looking in the same direction, almost as if they are looking at the viewer.

Capturing lively reefs is incredibly challenging. This photo has wonderful color and shows a dynamic ecosystem of coral, small fish, and a large turtle. The depth of field in this photo is stunning and has incredible detail in the coral structure. The life in this photo shows a healthy ecosystem with an abundance of marine life and the color contrast between the dark blue water and orange and pink of the corals is impressive.

This is a great ecosystem shot with a very large animal. Compared to the elephant, the trees appear small. The perspective of the elephant is unique in that it is looking up at the animal and the shadows on the elephant's face act like leading lines bringing the viewer's attention to the elephant's eye and trunk.

Brief

See more contest details

In this contest I am looking for your photos of wild animals surrounded by their natural habitat, where wildlife and nature thrive in areas that have had limited impact by humans. The wildlife could be photographed in conservation areas, national parks, marine parks or other natural habitats. Images should include the broader ecosystem of the wildlife species with surrounding plants or marine habitats etc. also included.
