Air Dynamics de Jan van der Greef de Driebergen (Paises Bajos)
Lugar: Rome, Italy
Descripción: Starling flocks have been mesmerizing myself for over 15 years. In particular the high dynamic nature of self-organization, when peregrine falcons attack, are amazing in structure and form. I could capture such a wonderful moment in Rome when over a million starlings where gathering near sunset.

Sixer huddle 5 de Gunther Riehle de kirchheim (baden wuerttemberg)
Lugar: Antarctica
Descripción: Aptenodytes forsteri. Emperor Penguin. I was dreaming to get to this location for 5 years. We were camping on 3 m thick frozen sea water, just 1.5 miles away from a big emperor penguin colony, with lots of mega cute chicks. I was dreaming to have “bad” weather there shortly after arrival. And I was lucky, we arrived on location in sunshine, but for next day was already a multi day snow storm forecasted …….. I concentrated especially on taking images of the adorable chicks in the harsh conditions of their environment. The image shows young emperor penguins forming a huddle in a severe snow storm to protect themselves against the storm and cold.

Inferno de Nick Hawkins de Upper Kingsclear (New Brunswick)
Lugar: Costa Rica
Descripción: Great wildlife images can come from the most unlikely of places, as was the case for me while photographing in Northwestern Costa Rica. It was the height of the dry season and hundreds of black vultures had gathered at a local landfill to feed amongst the piles of burning garbage. Warm light from the setting sun was streaming through the smoke. I made this image when a truck bringing a fresh load of trash flushed a group of the feeding birds.

Esperando el sol de Manuel Enrique González Carmona de Camas (Sevilla)
Lugar: Marismas del Guadalquivir-Sevilla-España
Descripción: Con la llegada del otoño, las Marismas del Guadalquivir se llenan de cormoranes que pasan aquí todo el invierno. Desde sus posaderos, esperan pacientemente la llegada del sol, para poder secar sus alas. En esta ocasión el astro rey tardaría en hacer acto de presencia, debido a la intensa niebla que cubría la zona. Tras varias jornadas de asistencia al lugar, este fue el único día que pudimos observar todos los posaderos ocupados.
