A creepy portrait of a crocodile keeping a watchful, yellow eye from a mud pool is the grand prize winner of the 2022 World Nature Photography Awards , which honored the most evocative shots from thousands of entries in a variety of categories. The photo was taken in Zimbabwe by Jens Cullmann of Germany, who won the award for World Nature Photographer of the Year and scooped top prize for Animal portraits..
Behavior - BirdsThis male hooded merganser is heading straight for the camera lens, where photographer Charles Schmidt was patiently waiting for the bird to take off in Huntley Meadows Park, Virginia."Ducks will often begin swimming more quickly when they are preparing to fly," Schmidt told the WNPA."I saw that they began to swim more quickly and thus was prepared to catch them taking off.
Animals in their habitatSascha Fonseca, from the United Arab Emirates, set up a camera trap on the snowy peaks of the Indian Himalayas to snap this rare picture of a snow leopard ."I captured this image during a 3-year DSLR [digital-single-lens reflex] camera trap project in the Ladakh region of northern India," Fonseca told the WNPA."The mystery surrounding the snow leopard always fascinated me. They are some of the most difficult large cats to photograph in the wild.
Nature photojournalism Nicolas Remy captured this heartbreaking photo of an Australian fur seal with bad injuries caused by a boat propeller in Australia's Port Kembla. Marine mammals such as whales, seals and sea lions are frequently hit by boats of all sizes, often resulting in injury and, sometimes, death.
"On June 17th, 2021, I hiked, snowshoed and climbed to the 11,000-foot [3,400 m] summit of Wyoming's Table Mountain to photograph the Milky Way over Grand Teton Peak," Mosher told the WNPA."While these iconic mountains have been photographed tens of thousands of times, I wanted to show an entirely unique view of them.
