Has National Geographic announced the 20 17 Nature Photographer Award?

Recently, National Geographic announced that the 20 17 National Geographic nature photographer had been announced. The judges of this competition selected the top three and honorary prizes in four categories (wildlife, aerial photography, landscape and underwater photography), and people can also choose a "public choice award". First prize in wildlife category: face to face with Borneo River, photographer: JAYAPRAKASH JOGHEE BOJAN. In Borneo, Indonesia, a male orangutan hides behind a tree and stares at the photographer. The expansion of palm oil cultivation forced him to cross the river where crocodiles lurked in order to survive.

Second prize in wildlife category: Motherly love, photographer: Alejandro prieto. An adult Caribbean pink flamingo feeds its baby in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. The parents of flamingos will take turns feeding the flamingos. At first, babies will eat a liquid food, milk, and then they will eat the food spit out by their parents.

Third prize in wildlife category: white fighter, photographer: BENCE MATE. In Hungary, two grey herons fought fiercely in the air, but unfortunately there was only one person who ate melons-the white-tailed sea eagle.

Wildlife Honorary Nomination Award: Maintenance of Macaques, Photographer: Lance McMillan. Japanese macaques enjoy beauty service in hot springs.

Wildlife Public Choice Award: Big Grey Owl, Photographer: Harry Collins. In a field in New Hampshire, a big gray owl pounced on its prey.

First prize in landscape category: Waterfalls, photographer: Karim Ilya. Near dusk in Calapara, Hawaii, a cooled lava tube suddenly burst and magma spewed out. It took at least 30 minutes to calm down.

Second prize in landscape category: Dushanzi Grand Canyon, photographer: Liao. The sunshine is scattered sparsely on the gorgeous rock formations of the Grand Canyon, which is located in Dushanzi District, Karamay City, Xinjiang. After the river rushed out of Tianshan Mountain, it cut the inclined plain southwest of Dushanzi, forming a magical scenic canyon.

First prize of aerial photography: Tide Beach, photographer: Todd Kennedy. The Pacific Ocean created this natural swimming pool on the shore of Sydney. With its ingenuity, people went one step further and dug a swimming pool to avoid the crowd.
