2016 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year Contest, Part II (27 photos)

National Geographic Magazine’s annual photo contest is still underway, but the deadline for submissions is coming up on November 4. The Grand Prize Winner will receive a 10-day trip for two to the Galapagos Islands. The kind folks at National Geographic were once more kind enough to let me choose among the contest entries so far for display here. The captions below were written by the individual photographers.

“Huangshan Falls.” I captured this image in early morning in the Yellow Mountains of China. Behind this image is a story, climbing at 3 am to reach the point of shooting, when I arrived I could see in the complete dark the effect of the white and slow motion of this cloud waterfall. My hope was when the sunrise came out this effect would still stand front of me. Luckily at 6.30 am the effect was still there when I took the shot before it disappeared completely a few minutes later.
