Photographer name: Zhenhuan Zhou From: Toronto, Canada Age: 55 Photo title: Frozen Photo location: Ontario, Canada Date photo taken: 5 January 2018 Caption: Zhenhuan captured this photo showing parts of Niagara Falls covered in ice. During spells of cold weather, the mist and spray from Niagara Falls can freeze into ice over the top of the rushing water of the waterfall, giving the appearance that the Falls have frozen whilst the water continues to flow underneath the sheets of ice. However, there are records that the Falls' waters did stop once in March 1848. Strong winds pushed ice from Lake Erie into the mouth of the Niagara River, blocking the channel completely and stopping the water for about 30 hours. The wind then shifted, and the built-up weight of the water broke through the ice, forcing the Niagara River to flow again. The photograph offers intricate detail of the icicles that have formed around the building and on the rock face. Icicles are hanging tapering pieces of ice that form when the temperature is below freezing. As water drips off the roof or rock, it freezes and becomes suspended in the shape of a droplet. As more water droplets flow over the surface, they freeze on the way down, and so the process continues until an icicle is formed. Story behind the photo: Niagara Falls is frozen over.

Ein Märchen aus Schnee und Eis: Bei kaltem Wetter können der Nebel und die Gischt der Niagarafälle über dem rauschenden Wasser zu Eis gefrieren – was den Anschein erweckt, dass die Wasserfälle gefroren sind, während das Wasser unter den Eisschichten jedoch weiter fließt. Der Chinese Zhenhuan Zhou fotografierte die Niagarafälle in Kanada und belegte für seine beeindruckende Aufnahme den zweiten Platz des gesamten Fotowettbewerbs.

Christopher Ison Photo title: Storm Eunice Photo location: Newhaven, East Sussex, UK Date photo taken: 18 February, 2022 Caption: After checking the time Storm Eunice would hit as well as the high tides times, Christopher discovered that the storm would hit Newhaven, East Sussex, at almost exactly high tide. When taking his photo, Christopher decided to head to high ground and stand slightly further away from the harbour wall with his back to the weather and was rewarded with a fantastic set of images. "When the storm was predicted and that it was carrying the first ever red warning for the south coast, I knew I had to find a spot to record it – this was going to be big!" Storm Eunice was a deep area of low pressure that hit the UK in February 2022. It was particularly disruptive as it underwent explosive cyclogenesis when a low-pressure system rapidly deepens. Low pressure systems can bring heavy rain/snow and strong winds, and the deeper the area of low pressure relative to the surrounding pressure, the stronger the winds will be. Story behind the photo: When the storm was predicted and that it was carrying the first ever red warning for the south coast, I knew I had to find a spot to record it - this was going to be big! I checked the time it was due to strike and the high tides and discovered that it would hit Newhaven at almost exactly high tide. I got there reasonably early to find many photographers already drenched in rain and sea water, standing very close to the harbour wall. I decided to head to high ground and slightly further away with my back to the weather. I was rewarded with a set of images that I’m very proud of.

Photographer name: Emili Vilamala Benito From: Barcelona, Spain Age: 68 Photo title: Ghost Under The Cliff Photo location: Tavertet, Barcelona, Spain Date photo taken: 8 June 2021 Caption: On the cliff of Tavertet in Barcelona, Spain, with the sun low behind and the valley of Sau covered with fog, Emili waited until a Brocken Spectre appeared. "In this geographical area, you can see these phenomena due to morning fog, and when it fades, it is possible to see this spectacular optical phenomenon". A Brocken Spectre is a large shadow of an observer cast onto a cloud or mist. So, when a person stands on a hill partially covered in mist or cloud, their shadow can be projected down onto the mist or cloud if the sun is behind them. An optical illusion then makes the shadow appear gigantic and at a considerable distance away from them. The shadow can also fall onto water droplets of varying distances, which distorts the perception and can make the shadow appear to move as the clouds alter and shift. This combines to make the disorienting effect of a giant shadow moving in the distance. Story behind the photo: With the sun low behind me and in the early hours of the day from the cliff of Tavertet you could see the valley of Sau covered with fog, as the sun was strong and the fog was moving I waited to see if it formed a Brocken Spectre and formed in a very showy and double way. In this geographical area you can see these phenomena due to fog, the fog that is sometimes present in the morning and when it fades it is possible to see this spectacular optical phenomenon. In this image under the cliff was the Sau reservoir of the river Ter, but it looked like a cliff with the sea below, a sea of fog, where this ghost appeared with my shadow.

Photographer name: Eris Pil From: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Age: 16 (DOB: 1 Oct, 2005) Photo title: Mammatus Sunset Photo location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Date photo taken: 16 June 2022 Caption: Eris said, "the sky was completely lit up in a way I had never seen before, like these beautiful backlit watercolour clouds”, displaying these spectacular mammatus clouds overhead. Mammatus clouds are some of the most unusual and distinctive and are usually associated with large cumulonimbus clouds. They appear as a series of bulges or pouches emerging from the base of the cloud and form in the most unstable cumulonimbus clouds due to turbulence within the cloud. Mammatus comes from the Latin mamma, which translates to 'udder' or 'breast', and they are more visible when the sun is low in the sky, and the sunlight frames their pouches. "I love mammatus clouds; this was my first time ever witnessing them. I hope I have the opportunity to see them again, and I'm excited to share what they look like with others". Story behind the photo: I had just gotten out of the shower, expecting it to be almost dusk, and noticed it was unusually bright and shining through the curtains. I went outside, and the sky was completely lit up in a way I had never seen before, like these beautiful backlit watercolor clouds. It completely brightened my day, although it was night. I love Mammatus clouds; this was my first time ever witnessing them. I hope I have the opportunity to see them again, and I'm excited to share what they look like with others.

Photographer name: Shreya Nair From: Trivandrum, India Age: 14 (DOB: Apr 28, 2008) Photo title: Tyndall Effect Photo location: Trivandrum, India Date photo taken: Feb 23, 2022 Caption: While taking a walk through their backyard in India, Shreya spotted the light passing through the tree canopy. The Tyndall effect is when sunlight is scattered by small particles in the air, such as dust or smoke particles. Similar to Rayleigh scattering, it is the process that causes the sky to appear blue and the sky at sunset and sunrise to appear orange or red. Under the Tyndall effect (and Rayleigh scattering), the shorter wavelength blue light is scattered more than the longer wavelength red light, and as our eyes are more sensitive to blue light, we see the sky as blue. Story behind the photo: We spotted light passing through the tree canopies while taking a walk in our backyard on an early Monday morning. Media interviews: Social media: Camera: Redmi Note 9 Pro

Photographer name: Aung Chan Thar From: Hpa-an, Myanmar Age: Photo title: Sunset Photo location: Myanmar Date photo taken: 18 May 2022 Caption: Following an overcast and rainy evening, the sun appeared through the clouds and mist just in time for Aung to capture this beautiful sunset photo. "Due to the sun, the pagoda became brighter". The sky appears red or orange at sunset or sunrise because of Rayleigh scattering. The sun is very low in the sky at sunset or sunrise, so the sunlight has to travel further through the atmosphere. As a result, the blue light, which has a shorter wavelength than red light, is scattered more strongly by the atmosphere and is deflected away before we see it. Therefore, the orange and red light, which is scattered less, is left for us to see during sunrise and sunset. Story behind the photo: That evening the clouds were overcast and it was raining so I could not see the sun. Fortunately, just before sunset, the sun rose through the clouds and mist, creating a beautiful evening. Due to the sun, the pagoda became brighter and I captured this moment with the VivoX70pro+ Media interviews: Social media: https://www.instagram.com/aungchantharmyanmar/?hl=en Camera: VivoX70pro+

Photographer name: Vince Campbell From: Penrith, United Kingdom Age: 60 Photo title: Scotch Mist Photo location: Tarbet, Loch Lomond, Scotland Date photo taken: 15 September 2021 Caption: An overnight stop in Tarbet, Loch Lomond in Scotland, and an early morning trek with dogs Oscar and Ollie up Cruach Tairbeirt revealed this beautiful misty scene to Vince. "The woods, the alps, the loch and Ben Lomond were bathed in 'Scotch mist'. This shot was taken just before the sun put in an appearance". Mist, like fog, is a low cloud or small water droplets suspended in the air, close to the ground. The relative humidity in mist and fog is more than 95%, but the difference between the two phenomena is all down to visibility. If you can see more than 1,000 metres, it is called mist, but if it is thicker and the visibility drops below 1,000 metres, it is called fog. Mist is typically dissipated quicker than fog and can rapidly disappear with even a light wind. Story behind the photo: An overnight stop in Tarbet, Loch Lomond and an early morning trek with the dogs up Cruach Tairbert revealed this beautiful misty scene. I'm a keen hobby/amateur photographer living in the north lakes, Penrith. My surroundings range from the North Pennines, Eden Valley and Ullswater lake, all are within an easy 20 minute drive. I've recently retired, we got two border collies and a half decent camera to capture the lovely surroundings. When I remember I'll take some pics with the phone, mainly for the benefit of the family whatsapp group, a little piece of home as both kids are away at university. I've always had a keen interest in photography but never made the time to take things further, work and family commitments I suppose. Today with digital advances everyone has a good quality camera in their pocket. My submission, "Scotch Mist" is an example of the dogs (Oscar & Ollie) and my inquisitive nature. Whilst doing a motorhome stopover at a wonderful restaurant, Slanj on the A83. We embarked upon an evening trek up the hills behind the railway station, it revealed some interesting misty views towards the "Arrochar Alps" Another trek in the morning was equally rewarding, surrounded with mist, the mood and atmosphere constantly changed. The woods, the alps, the loch and Ben Lomond were bathed in "Scotch Mist", this shot was taken just before the sun put in an appearance.

Photographer name: Jamie Russell From: Shanklin, Isle of Wight, UK Age: 44 Photo title: Departing Storm Over Bembridge Lifeboat Station Photo location: Bembridge, Isle of Wight, UK Date photo taken: May 27 2022 Caption: After chasing storms and showers west to east across the Isle of Wight to capture some incredible rainbows, Jamie reached Bembridge as the final shower left. "In a panic (he) waded into the waist-deep water, fully dressed, just to compose this scene". Rainbows are optical phenomena that occur when sunlight shines through raindrops. The light is refracted as it enters the raindrop, then reflected off the back of the droplet and then refracted again as it exits and travels towards our eyes. This causes the sunlight to split into different colours. The sun needs to be behind the viewer and needs to be low in the sky. The lower the sun in the sky, the more of an arc of a rainbow the viewer will see. Also, the rain, fog, or other source of water droplets, must be in front of the viewer. The angle at which the light is scattered is different for everyone, which means that every rainbow is unique to the observer. Double rainbows form when sunlight is reflected twice within a raindrop. They are relatively common, especially when the sun is low in the sky, such as in the early morning and late afternoon. The second rainbow is fainter, and more 'pastel' in tone and a key feature of a double rainbow is that the colour sequence in the second rainbow is reversed. Story behind the photo: I had been chasing showers and storms from west to east across the island in an attempt to capture some of the incredible rainbows. I reached Bembridge as the final shower departed and in a panic waded in to waist deep water, fully dressed just to compose this scene!

As more water droplets flow over the surface, they freeze on the way down, and so the process continues until an icicle is formed. Story behind the photo: Niagara Falls is frozen over.

GOLD: HIDETOSHI OGATA, JAPAN Japanese macaques on Awaji Island in Japan form huddles consisting of many individual monkeys, sometimes reaching more than thirty. In other places, huddles are usually made up of just a few, rarely more than ten. Cuddling and grooming are among several possible reasons for making a huddle. It begins with the mother and baby cuddling. Other females and young males then join in, as well as other cuddling groups. This photo captures a rare moment during the lactation season when three pairs of monkeys have formed a huddle after grooming. Most Awaji monkeys are non-aggressive and when they are raising their babies, mothers create individual communities that have no social hierarchies.

Sleeping With Dandelions Animal Portraits | Winner Lewis Newman Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) London, England Nikon D500 with Nikon 300mm f/2.8 lens. 300mm; 1/800th second; f/4; ISO 640. After spending a lot of time with this particular vixen, she began to learn I was not a threat. This gave me some great photographic opportunities. I got to know her routine, and as the wildflowers began to grow, I would find her curled up amongst them. As the dandelions began to open there were a couple of days when she would wake up covered in them.

PORTRAIT & LANDSCAPE CATEGORY 1st Place Winner - Dalia Fichmann - Switzerland The avalanche rescuedog “Away from the pistes, away from the hustle and bustle, enjoying the softness of the powder snow, the untouchedness .. The dark side of it: every year people are buried by avalanches. The search in rough terrain is usually very difficult. The avalanche rescuedogs are often the first responders, fighting their way through the avalanche cones on their four paws with a lot of perseverance to look for the buried people, who are sometimes buried several meters under the snow masses. In Melchsee- Frutt (Switzerland) I have accompanied the rescue teams led by Nicole Dammann with the camera for a day. The dogs are trained using positive reinforcement to keep them enjoying the search. To capture the moment when the dog finds the buried person and digs through the snow, I lay down with the camera in a small, dark ice cave and let the dogs search for me. The moment when the snow cover opens up, the first ray of light penetrates the cave, the paws dig away the snow and the dog's nose sniffs towards you is wonderful. A big compliment to all the dog handlers with their four-legged friends who invest a lot of time and patience. In an emergency, they risk their own lives. The picture shows Border Collie Kyron, who was looking for me and fortunately found me." Nikon D3, Nikkor 24-70mm, ISO4500, 38mm, f5, 1/800

In der kriegszerstörten Bibliothek einer Grundschule in der äthiopischen Region Tigray vertiefen sich zwei Kinder in Bücher. Das Lächeln in ihren Gesichtern verrät einen Moment kleiner Glückseligkeit. Es ist ein seltener Moment. Denn der Bürgerkrieg zwischen der äthiopischen Zentralregierung und den Tigray Defence Forces (TPLF), einer der brutalsten und tödlichsten Konflikte der jüngeren Gegenwart, hat die Zivilbevölkerung in eine grauenvolle Notlage versetzt. Von Kriegsgräueln und Vertreibung, Dürre, Hunger und Trinkwasserknappheit, Verlust von Viehbestand und Ernten, verwüsteten Gesundheitsstationen und Schulen ist die Mehrheit der etwa sieben Millionen hier lebenden und leidenden Menschen betroffen. Der argentinische Fotograf Eduardo Soteras Jalil dokumentiert besonders die Situation der Kinder in Tigray seit 2020: in Flüchtlingslagern, in Krankenhäusern, in Auffangstationen für sexuell misshandelte Mädchen. Auch beim Brennholzsammeln und auf der Suche nach Wasser. Und er fotografiert solch rare Augenblicke wie jenen, in dem sich zeigt, was die Kinder von Tigray mit den Kindern auf aller Welt teilen: das Bedürfnis, sich friedlich und neugierig mit etwas beschäftigen zu dürfen, das ihnen Freude bereitet. Soteras wurde für seine Aufnahme mit dem ersten Preis des "Unicef-Foto des Jahres"-Awards geehrt.
