The redness on the cheeks due to extreme cold is really adding the weight to the image.

I dont't know but sometimes I feel like , I would feel less guilty if I lived their life . At least I wouldn't spend my time being unproductive . :(
M O'Connell 8 years ago
Fern fronds aren't terribly dense, so these loads would be far more bulky than heavy. I'm just curious what they are doing with them.

Selfie Culture By Jelena Jankovic (2nd In Journeys & Adventures Category)
Cat person 8 years ago
This photo is stupid. It shows how addicted and reliant on technology our society has become. It's not something to showcase. It's not a part of nature.
Pragya Fating 8 years ago
If u don't look closely it seems like a close up of a tulip or something.

Ludovico By Pedro Armestre (3rd In Fragile Ice Category)
Henry Memmott 8 years ago
Greenpeace holds a historic performance with pianist Ludovico Einaudi on the Arctic Ocean to call for its protection Through his music, acclaimed Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi has added his voice to those of eight million people from across the world demanding protection for the Arctic. Einaudi performed one of his own compositions on a floating platform in the middle of the Ocean, against the backdrop of the Wahlenbergbreen glacier (in Svalbard, Norway). The famous musician travelled on board Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise on the eve of a significant event for the future of the Arctic: this week's meeting of the OSPAR Commission, which could secure the first protected area in Arctic international waters.
Kimberly Speer 8 years ago
The inventor of Greenpeace no longer believes that global warming is caused by man.
MRBarker 8 years ago

Athabasca Cave By Juan Pablo De Miguel (Honorable Mention In Fragile Ice Category)
Full Name 8 years ago
Why would humans be hope for ice? If climate change/global warming is man made, then man is the problem. If it's sun spots and regular cyclical behaviour, then man is irrelevant.

Pray this ice withstands climate change, for the sage of the surrounding wildlife!

Betel Nut By M. Yousuf Tushar (Honorable Mention In General Color Category)
M O'Connell 8 years ago
That's because he's probably high. Betel nuts are psychoactive, and probably just as dangerous as tobacco.

Trans-species cat-calling? Or would that be interspecies cat-calling? Can we even call it cat-calling if they're chimps? I'm so confused.
