Highly Commended Youth - Lost

A quiet morning transformed into a layered story of nature’s hunters.

Photographer Ismael Domínguez headed to the reservoir at sunrise, hoping to photograph an osprey in the early light. While framing the shot, he also noticed herons in the scene. But it wasn’t until reviewing the image at home that he saw a surprise: a tiny kingfisher perched high on one of the branches - nearly hidden in plain sight.

Both the osprey and the kingfisher rely on stillness and precision to hunt, and in this delicate black-and-white composition, their shared instincts echo across the misty water. A minimalistic yet powerful scene that reveals more the longer you look.

Highly Commended Lage Landen - Mystical Mushroom

A surreal glow, captured in the quiet of the forest floor.

Photographer Mathijs Frenken has a deep appreciation for autumn - not just for the vibrant colors, but for the mushrooms that appear in abundance. In a forest setting, he positioned himself so the rising sun shone through the cap of this mushroom, creating a magical interplay of light and shadow. By using a blue-white balance, the gills turned a deep blue, making the warm sunrise tones between them stand out even more.

Using an ultra macro lens, and without any special techniques, he captured this abstract close-up - an image that transforms a simple mushroom into a work of natural art.

Highly Commended Animal Portraits - Emerald Gem

A long-awaited encounter in the heart of the rainforest.

After months of searching, this moment arrived like a dream: an emerald tree boa, aglow in vivid green, coiled calmly above the jungle floor. With swarming mosquitoes and dehydration setting in, Louis Guillot pressed on-driven by passion and instinct. The result is a portrait that celebrates beauty, persistence, and the wild elegance of a nocturnal jewel.

Highly Commended Black & White - Nature’s Ballet

A fleeting choreography in the fog.

As morning mist clings to the earth, a murmuration of birds dances through the air - while a lone stag stands motionless, its presence grounding the scene in quiet strength. Captured with patience and precision, this monochrome moment by Marvin Blome is a tribute to timing, instinct, and the silent theatre of the wild.

📷 Do you seek beauty in contrast, light, and stillness?

Highly Commended Humans and Nature - Bed Time

Wrapped in warmth, rescued from loss.

After surviving the trauma of poaching and the loss of her family, young chimpanzee Niete finds comfort in the arms of her caregiver. At the Limbe Wildlife Centre, healing begins with trust, love, and sleepless nights. Gerard Carbonell’s tender image reminds us that conservation is not just protection - it is connection, empathy, and care.

Highly Commended Nature Art - Evanescence

Silence falls. The world dissolves into white.

During a heavy snowfall in Castelluccio, the landscape is transformed - open plains vanish under a soft, endless blanket. With each falling flake, the soundscape fades, replaced by pure stillness. In this quiet, Mauro Tronto saw something fleeting yet profound: shapes reduced to subtle lines, mountains turned into gentle shadows, and nature momentarily abstracted. A portrait of transience, simplicity, and solitude - where beauty lies in the vanishing.

Highly Commended Underwater - Stinging Elegance

A vision of beauty - drifting peril beneath the waves.

While searching the Caribbean Sea for s***m whales, Franco Banfi encountered an unexpected marvel: a Portuguese man o’ war, trailing its venomous tentacles like silk ribbons. Beneath its translucent, iridescent float, a school of bluebottle fishes darted between the stinging threads - immune enough to seek shelter, but not invincible. With delicate lighting and a careful approach from below, Franco captured both the organism’s deceptive elegance and its lurking danger. A portrait of paradox: graceful yet lethal, captivating yet untouchable.

Highly Commended Landscape - Snowstorm

A fleeting storm becomes a lasting impression of nature’s raw power.

On his first and only trip to Iceland, Andres Miguel Dominguez encountered the heaviest snowfall the country had seen in 25 years. Braving difficult conditions and wrecked roads, he made it to the glacial lake Jökulsárlón just as the storm swept in. Instead of turning back, he stayed - capturing the blizzard in motion, snowflakes illuminated by a soft flash, with the icy blue of the bergs glowing through the haze. In a moment when most would seek shelter, he created an image that feels as untamed as the landscape itself.
