National Geographic Photo Awards

My friend Lynn just emailed me these photos that won National Geographic photo awards. These are a few that I think are just fantastic. I'd like to take pictures like these some day . . .







I love the reflection in this photo:


They almost look like giants . . .



And my favorite is . . . .

I think this one is just amazing. I love how at first glance it looks like a herd of dark horses. Then, upon further examination, you realize that the photo is actually of a herd of zebras and what you thought were the animals is actually their shadow. Fabulous!

Someday when I decide to explore my love of nature photography I could hope to produce something like this . . . Someday . . .

I was just clicking from blog to blog and came upon yours. Those pictures are absolutely amazing! I also love the zebra one. My husband thought the shadows were pictures painted on a cave wall or something. You sound like quite the adventurer!

That zebra shot is really cool! I do like the "ahhhhhhh" factor of the seals and polar bears, too cute.
