National geographic proves once again that it is the top world authority on all things photographed and wild. Every year, the good folks of NG hold a photography contest for all the NG photographers. Submissions must be either of wild animals, people, places or landscapes (urban or natural). This is the selection for 2013, and in my book - they are all winners, each and every stunning one of them. |
