National Geographic's Photography Contest 2011
National Geographic is once again holding their annual Photo Contest ,
with the deadline for submissions coming up on November 30th. For the
past eight weeks, they have been gathering and presenting galleries of
submissions, encouraging readers to rate them as well.
National Geographic was again kind enough to let me choose some of their
entries from 2010 for display here on The Big Picture. Collected below
are 47 images from the three categories of People, Places and Nature.
Captions were written by the individual photographers. (47 photos total)
Kanana Camp, Botswana. Pulling over by the side of the
road to watch a grazing giraffe, we spotted an amber head lurking behind
a small mound. A hungry lioness. Watching, waiting, camera to my eye,
she eventually chose her moment and pounced just as the giraffe sensed
danger. The lioness gave chase, but failed. Hungry, she lay down,
invisible, in the grass not ten feet from us and waited again. (Photo

Salvation. Appreciate life to save the world. (Photo and caption by Hongsik Kim) #

The Great Pyramids. The people of Ancient Egypt believed that death on
Earth was the start of a journey to the next world. The embalmed body of
the King was entombed underneath or within the pyramid to protect it
and allow his transformation and ascension to the afterlife. (Photo and
caption by Jesus Oranday) #

The Music Of Love. This picture was taken in Tenganan Village, Bali
(2010). Tenganan is the most famous Bali Aga (original Balinese) village
and is located close to Candi Dasa in East Bali. A man was playing
bamboo music to entertain a disabled child which is not his son, but he
loves this child likes he loves his own son. (Photo and caption by Ario
Wibisono) #

Liquid Planet. Another picture from the Liquid Vision Series, which
shows a different point of view of waves. An angle that people are not
used to seeing. (Photo and caption by Freddy Cerdeira) #

Brown bear, Buskin River, Kodiak Alaska. This bear had been fishing in
the river on this morning. It climbed onto the bank and laid down in the
grass. This photo was taken about an hour after sunrise just as the sun
was starting to clear the trees. The temperature was near the dew point
and steam was rising off its body. It didn’t seem at all concerned by
the fishermen in the river or the photographer on the bank. (Photo and

Praying Mantis - Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii. This beautiful whalbergii
evolved through two of its nymph-stages on the Barberton Daisy at left,
surviving because of its bright color which blended so well with the
flower. Towards the end of its growth into an adult, it became a little
more adventurous (but not much more) as pictured here. Once it had shed
the layer in this picture, it became a fully-fledged adult, and departed
after about two weeks. Total stay in this tiny ecosystem was
approximately six weeks. (Photo and caption by Fred Turck) #

Alone. I was up in the air in an helicopter, taking images for the
community and suddenly I saw one tree surrounded by thousands of spruces
and I got only one shot in this perfect light. (Photo and caption by

The archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil is considered a wildlife
sanctuary, but today, even in this isolated archipelago dolphins are
victims of the bad habits of consumption. (Photo and caption by

Cosmic. Mother nature doing what she does best. (Photo and caption by Patrick John O'Doherty) #

The child in us. Traveling from Zhangmu (Nepal-Tibet border) to the
Tibetan capital - Lhasa you can see road workers all along the
Friendship Highway. The Chinese industrialization has affected Tibet a
great deal. But despite the Chinese government's attempts to settle
Chinese population across the Tibetan Plateau, the Roof of the World
still remains a place where only the Tibetans can survive its harsh
climate conditions. A Tibetan boy holding the hand of his father who
works on the road construction, Tibet. (Photo and caption by Sergi

The baboon in front was harassing one of the babies in the troop. This
male facing the camera attacked him. The whole fight was over in a few
seconds but it was loud and seemingly vicious. The rest of the troop was
scrambling around trying to get out of their way. There is, needless to
say, always a lot of drama going on in a baboon troop. (Photo and
caption by Sharon Raoli) #

Unsafe Journey. A woman is riding between the railway carriages of a
local train heading north from Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Her
luggage is tucked under the carriage in front of her. It is the month of
Ramadan, a fast which culminates in Eid-ul-Fitr, a three-day
celebration. Tens of thousands of people leave the city to go to their
home village and celebrate with their families. Trains are packed and
many who fail to get tickets before they sell out or can't afford buying
them at the black market ride on the roof of the train or, like this
woman, finds a quiet spot between the carriages. (Photo and caption by
Amy Helene Johansson) #

Lightning Strike NY Harbor. This shot was captured during a major
electrical storm. There was little wind and no rain which allowed me to
stay safely inside and shoot from an open window. This was the 82nd
exposure out of 150 made that night. The camera was mounted on a tripod,
exposures made with a cable release for 5 seconds at f10. Except for a
some minor level adjustments and a square crop this was what came out of
the camera. (Photo and caption by Jay Fine) #

Boise Sunrise. With the fog and morning light this looks like a place
I'd love to be. If you look very closely, you can see a deer in a
clearing in the center left area of the picture (small dot, head poking
above bushes, see detail). (Photo and caption by Glen Hush) #

Yes it's spring. Fishing on the end of the bridge. (Photo and caption by Stan Bouman) #

Against the windstorm on Mont Blanc. My friend Laszlo Varkonyi is
leading a group on Mont Blanc, he died on Everest this April in a fatal
accident: a big serac fell down. (Photo and caption by Aniko Molnar) #

Mystery Bug. This was on my clothesline. I have no idea what it is. I
have used a macro lens as the insect was only an inch or so long. We
live in the Northern Rivers district of New South Wales, Australia. The
rainforest around our house sometimes brings forth intriguing creatures
like this. I know it looks like a studio shot but it isn't. The
photograph was was taken in natural light. The background is a sheet
that was serendipitously drying on the clothesline at the time. I have
rotated the image to make the insect easier to examine. If anyone can
tell me what it is I would be grateful. (Photo and caption by Stephen
Hocking) #

Pure Elements. I drove my 4x4 over rivers to get a view of the Volcano
eruption at "Fimmvorduhals" in Iceland. It was a full moon and strong
winds gave me problems standing still outside the truck. I had my camera
with me and zoom lens but no tripod, suddenly there was a magical
moment, I was experiencing a display of nature rarely seen by man. I
found my camera with the zoom lens, rushed out of the truck, trying to
fight the strong wind. I pushed the camera on to the hood of the truck
trying to stand still, holding my breath, I shot 30 frames, and only one
shot was good. (Photo and caption by Olafur Ragnarsson) #

Bicycle Crash. Zestful BMX (Bicycle Moto-Cross) rider crashes after a
failed attempt to grind the handrail. When in pain, even the ambitious,
strong, extreme sports loving man looks like a simple, tired, vulnerable
person. (Photo and caption by Karolis Milasevicius) #

The Serra da Leba Road near Lubango (Huيla, Angola). This is
Serra da Leba, a landmark in Angola. A road built in the 70's, it's been
in the country's postcard images for decades, but all shots were taken
by day. I wanted something different and tried a night shot. But it
seemed impossible: pitch dark, foggy, altitude of 1,800m (5,000ft). I
wanted no more than 60sec of exposure, max, to avoid digital noise. But a
car takes a few minutes to climb or descend this section of the road.
The fog was dense and blocking the view! Suddenly the fog cleared, a few
cars went down, others went up, they met in the middle in under
60sec... Painting done! (Photo and caption by Kostadin Luchansky) #

A Llama stands at the crest of a hill as the sun sets behind it at

Fallen Angel. A legionnaire from the French Foreign Legion's 2REP
(Foreign Parachute Regiment) sits in an armored personnel carrier en
route to an operation near Badpash Kusa Kala, Afghanistan on June 16,
2010. (Photo and caption by Steven Greaves) #

Foot and Thistle, Mountain Gorilla of Rwanda. I was fortunate to visit
the rare and endangered Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda, February of 2010.
This young gorilla had fallen asleep with a thistle grasped in his foot.
The thistle is one of their food sources. They learn to extract the
pith from the spine-defended inedible stem. This particular gorilla
demonstrates syndactyly of the third and fourth toes, a common
congenital malformation also found in humans. (Photo and caption by Jim
Edwards) #

Lightning Crashes. A lightning bolt strikes the antenna of The Center
building in Central Hong Kong during a storm on September 13, 2009.

Me'enit Boy, Southwestern Ethiopia. One of our neighborhood friends,
Sintiyu, looking on. A rare opportunity to see him undistracted by the
camera, and absorbed in his family. (Photo and caption by Stephen

Moths to Light. Moths attracted to a light in front of my home. (Photo and caption by Steve Irvine) #

Surva, the International Festival of the Masquerade Games held in the
town of Pernik, Bulgaria is the biggest event of this type not only in
Bulgaria but on the Balkan Peninsula as well. It promotes variations of
ancient Bulgarian customs that are still alive today. These are an
important part of the Bulgarian folklore tradition and are meant to be
performed by single men and women. With its competitive nature, the
festival is not only a venue but also a contest for the living vessels
of this tradition, namely the Kukeri and Survakari. (Photo and caption

Ki Gompa. This picture was taken when I visited the Buddhist Monastery
of Ki. Ki is a tiny village in the middle of the Himalayas, and next to
it is Ki Gompa (Ki Monastery). I lived with the monks for about a week,
and this picture reflects the peaceful, almost heavenly atmosphere that
characterizes this place. The Monastery is almost 4,000 meters high, and
I had to climb almost 500 meters more to get this panorama. This place
is a touch of heaven. (Photo and caption by Natalia Luzuriaga) #
34
Haunting Glimpse. An encounter with an elusive Canada Lynx is said to be
a rare privilege. I am honored to have had the opportunity to see a
Lynx up close and personal. As I photographed this beautiful cat, I felt
transfixed by its wild, untamed, haunting eyes. This is a once in a
lifetime chance that I will cherish forever. (Photo and caption by Janet
Chester) #

Suradita Village, West Java, Indonesia. Children playing with their
roosters. Actually it was not a real cockfight because the roosters
didn't wear blades on their feet. Children like to play this game
because they almost never have toys in their life. (Photo and caption by
Ario Wibisono) #

Silhouetted against the headlights of their engine, Firemen attempt to
put out a blaze caused by a gigantic natural gas line explosion near San
Francisco in September of 2010. The fire destroyed 37 homes, and
resulted in seven fatalities. (Photo and caption by Josh Edelson) #

North Atlantic seals enduring winter storm. It was already -1 and with a
strong wind it was colder still, Had to position myself so as to shield
the camera from the wind to keep the image sharp the snow was being
blown horizontally away from me. (Photo and caption by Eric Garnett) #

Great Blue Heron with fish. The largest and most widespread heron in
North America. When foraging, they stand silently along riverbanks, lake
shores, or in wet meadows, waiting for prey to come by, which they then
strike with their bills. (Photo and caption by Linh Dinh) #

A walk along the river bank. This photo was taken in Zhenyuan, Guizhou
Province, China this summer. I was taking a walk along the river bank of
Wuyang in the mist of a late afternoon shower. Refreshing smell after
rain was mixed with the aroma from nearby food stands. In the distance,
kids were playing and laughing. The tranquil and harmonious life of the
local people reminds me of the joyful time I grew up in a similar small
town in Southwest China. (Photo and caption by Fred Wang) #
41
Heavy load. One morning in August, I was on my way to pick up the
newspaper. Everything was moist and wet, and I spotted this little fly
on a small white flower, just outside my bedroom window. Two hours after
I shot this picture I went outside again, and the fly was still sitting
on the same flower - still not able to fly. (Photo and caption by Audun
Wigen) #

Table Mountain. I took this picture in June 2009 while I was just
outside of Cape Town, South Africa. I was working at a kids camp and
took a quick shot of the sun setting over Table Mountain as we were
headed in for dinner. I was in such a rush to capture the sunset while
trying to keep an eye on a bunch of kids on the playground that I didn't
even notice the boy in the right edge of my viewfinder. It wasn't until
I was back home in Tennessee that I discovered the huge impact of this
picture. The duality of the not-quite-teenage boy and the
260-million-year-old mountain in the same shot absolutely amazed me.

Herring Gull with Guillemot Chick. Taken on the Farne Islands,
Northumberland, UK, the herring gull circled around the guillemot colony
three or four times before dropping in and picking up this chick with
the guillemot colony watching. (Photo and caption by Ron McCombe) #

and a tree in Masai Mara, Kenya. (Photo and caption by Niko Saunio) #
