Presentation Transcript

  1. 2013 National Geographic Photography Contest Winners Honorable Mention Nature:Flying Egrets- On a good day in the field, a birder might see flock of birds. Great Egrets; Tidal area of the Danube in Hungary. 

  2. Grand Prize and Nature Winner:The Ice Bear- A polar bear peers up from beneath the melting sea ice on Hudson Bay as the setting midnight sun glows red from the smoke of distant fires during a record-breaking spell of hot weather.

  3. People Winner:Together, Alone- This portrait of two identical twins (Nils and Emil, 15 years old) in Fyn, Denmark, is part of a series of pictures, portraying people who have a strong connection to another person and who often think of themselves as a 'we' instead of 'me'.

  4. Places Winner:Long Road to Daybreak- Realizing this old town (Laocheng, means old town in Chinese) would soon be transformed into a new town through the speedy economic growth in China and perhaps lose its raw beauty in no time, I was pleased to capture this working mother carrying her child in her basket walking through the thick mist in a very early foggy morning, 2012.

  5. Honorable Mention Nature:Crows Nest- The crows that live in Tokyo use clothes hangers to make nests. In such a large city, there are few trees, so the natural materials that crows need to make their nests are scarce.

  6. Honorable Mention Nature:Indian Rhino, Canadian Winter- An Indian rhinoceros, far from home and stuck inside with late-winter blues at the Toronto zoo.

  7. Honorable Mention Places: Cows And Kites- I was driving along the beach highway when I noticed the bulls sunbathing on the empty beach. 

  8. Honorable Mention Places:Graveyard- I cannot describe the eerie feeling I had when I walked in on this scene. I followed a massive storm front several 100 kilometers hoping to capture something special but this blew my mind.

  9. Honorable Mention People: Arabic in Gambia- Arabic born in one of the biggest city in the World, New York.

  10. Honorable Mention People: Ida- This is Ida. She is seven years old and born in Greenland. A year ago her mother, Marie, decided to move to Denmark in search of an easier life and to give her daughter everything that she never had, but even though the two countries are tied historically, the two cultures are very different and they have no Danish friends or any strong connections to Denmark.

  11. Honorable Mention People:Francesca- My girlfriend in her car at the stop street. (Photo and caption by Michele De Punzio/National Geographic Photo Contest)

  12. Honorable Mention People:Life Along The Polluted River- A boy plays with balloons by Buriganga River as smoke emits from a dump yard during sunset in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

  13. Honorable Mention People:Laurentiu- This picture is a part of the series of my work ëFrumoasaí. "Frumoasa" is Romanian for 'beauty'. It's a work about Laurentiu and his family.
