NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine has announced the winners of their annual photography contest and the winning images are truly breathtaking.
The grand prize winner was a photo of a tigress named Busaba shaking herself dry at theKhao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand. The photographer is Ashley Vincent, who entered the image in the Nature section of the contest. The image is titled “The Explosion” and that’s exactly what it looks like.
The winner for the Places category was a photograph of an eerily moonlit Matterhorn. The stunning image was taken by Nenad Saljic.
In the People category, Micah Albert’s visually striking image of two women scavenging through a garbage dump took the prize. It was taken in the Dandora landfill, one of the largest landfills in Africa.
