Photographer Name: Sriram Murali Image Name: The Forest Comes Alive at Night Year: 2023 Image Description: Millions of synchronously flashing fireflies light up the forests of Anamalai Tiger Reserve while the stars twinkle above. This image was created by stacking several photographs taken over a 16 minute period. Series Name: Billions of Synchronous Fireflies Light up a Tiger Reserve Series Description: Searching for stars near my hometown of Pollachi, India, I was led to the forests of the Anamalai Tiger Reserve. The further I moved away from the towns and their lights, the darker it got and the more I could see stars and fireflies. I was fascinated by the hundreds of fireflies flashing at the edge of the forest, but recalled hearing stories of trees laden with fireflies deep in the forest. So, in April 2022, I set out to a remote area of the reserve with forest officials. Flashes of green started appearing at twilight and as the place grew dark, millions of fireflies started synchronising their flashes across several trees. The flashes would start in one tree and continue across other trees like a Mexican wave. Such large congregations of fireflies are very rare, and this series captures the phenomenon of fireflies turning an entire forest into a magical carpet of yellowish-green light. The images were created by stacking several photographs. — The Forest Comes Alive at Night
Eigentlich war Sriram Murali in dieser Nacht auf der Suche nach einem besonders schönen Sternenhimmel. Doch dann erweckte ein geheimnisvolles Glühen im nächtlichen Wald seine Aufmerksamkeit. Man könnte eine kluge Belichtungstechnik vermuten, doch tatsächlich sind es Millionen von Glühwürmchen. Sriram Murali fotografierte die faszinierenden Geschöpfe im Indira-Gandhi-Nationalpark im Süden Indiens. Für diese Aufnahme legte der indische Fotograf mehrere Bilder übereinander, die er in einem 16-minütigen Zeitfenster schoss.

Photographer Name: Zhu Zhu Image Name: Life or Death Year: 2023 Series Name: Nature East Africa Series Description: For three years I have been photographing wildlife, primarily in Kenya, and documenting the Great Migration. In this time I have witnessed the impact of climate change and human activity on the ecological environment during the Covid pandemic. Over the first year of the pandemic, Masai Mara National Reserve’s wildlife became significantly more comfortable, with less disturbance from global tourists. The migration of animals across the river in 2020 was also the most spectacular in recent years. Due to the unpredictability of the event, photographing wildebeest herds crossing a river remains difficult, though, and a single great shot can take several weeks of patience and dedication.

Photographer Name: Adalbert Mojrzisch Image Name: Water Flea (4x) Year: 2023 Image Description: Water flea in polarised light. Series Name: Small Backlit Animals Series Description: Small, inconspicuous, mostly grey insects, spiders and crabs reveal many colours and interesting structures under high magnification and polarised backlight. All of these high-resolution photographs were taken through a microscope using a self-made setup, and the raw images were processed, stacked and retouched.

Photographer Name: Julia Christe Image Name: Blondy Year: 2023 Image Description: Blondy the cow. Series Name: Beautiful Animals Series Description: This series considers the idea that for centuries humans have used tags and rings to identify livestock, and decorated horses, meanwhile dogs have to wear a collar, which is not only practical, but increasingly like a chic piece of jewellery. In the beginning I didn’t really know if it would work well. Would it look too contrived? Maybe kind of kitschy?

Photographer Name: Martin Broen Image Name: Below the Surface Year: 2023 Image Description: A split shot of the mobula ray fever cruising below the surface. Series Name: Mobula Ray Fever Series Description: A series of photographs taken below, above and within the water during the annual mobula ray migration in Baja California. The ray fever creates intriguing dynamic patterns and textures underwater, in contrast to the individual jumps outside the water.

Photographer Name: Dillon Marsh Image Name: Arcadia Place 5 Year: 2023 Image Description: In late 2022 I visited this overgrown plot near to where I live in Observatory, Cape Town. Series Name: Arcadia Place Series Description: A few years ago, an old retirement home in my neighbourhood was demolished to make way for a larger home for the aged. However, the construction has been delayed and the plot of land left to its own devices. An array of weeds has now sprung up among the rubble, interweaving with the wild growth of the surviving flora of the original gardens. High walls hide the plot from the busy streets that surround it, but the presence of humans is evident in the scattering of wind-blown rubbish that rests amongst the foliage. This still feels like a protected space, though, and has even become home to a colony of bees. The old retirement home was called Arcadia Place, a name that suggests a peaceful pastoral setting. This seems even more appropriate now, although construction will eventually begin and this inadvertent sanctuary will come to an end.

Photographer Name: Corey Arnold Image Name: City Howl Year: 2023 Series Name: Cities Gone Wild Series Description: Cities Gone Wild is an exploration of three savvy animals --- black bears, coyotes and raccoons --- that have uniquely equipped to survive and even thrive in the human built landscape while other animals are disappearing. I tracked these animals in cities across America to reveal a more intimate view of how wildlife is adapting to increased urbanization.

Photographer Name: Masahiro Fujita Image Name: Mould Cosmos 1 Year: 2023 Image Description: I took this photograph to show the beauty of moulds, which are often disliked, but exist all around us. Series Name: Mould Cosmos Series Description: Mould is a common and widely hated feature of life. However, very few people recognise how important it is for the ecosystem, which is why I created this series. Taken over a one-year period, my goal is to reveal the unknown aspects and beauty of mould, by photographing different moulds growing in an agar medium.

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.
