I recently met this wonderful elderly dog ??lady of saarloos wolfdog, who suffers from a disease that prevents her from walking with using her hind legs. I was very impressed by how despite the handicap he does not give up and with the help of his owners he still fights and moves forward. Thanks to the wheelchair, she has the opportunity to live a full life, which I am very happy about, because this lady enjoys every single step. Photo was taken by Sony Alpha A1 + Sony FE 135 mm f/1,8 GM (F/1.8, 1/640s, ISO-500)

In one of the most inhospitable climates on earth, the beautiful arctic fox enjoys a moment of relaxation and dozes in the snow of the Svalbard Islands, between Norway and the North Pole. Its sweet muzzle and soft coat, make it look delicate but actually it is incredibly strong and survives the most drastic temperatures.

Ferocity, serenity, elegance. For me these qualities are characteristic for horses and each photo encompasses an aspect of one of these. In combination with their individual character we can see a huge range of characteristics which makes every horse unique and perfect just as it is.

Hey, my name is Nina. I'm a 22 year old pet photographer based in Germany. Photos are the most beautiful memories you can have. They manage to put you right back into the moment they sprang from. That’s why I made it my mission to capture the most beautiful moments of our companions - portraiting their elegance either by themselves or in the interaction with us as their trusted partners. It is particularly important to me to work out their individual personality and characteristics. I want the owners to see their animal in my pictures exactly as they are.

It was the end of salmon run. Even though the bears started to spend more time munching on the meadow, they hadn't given up fishing in the river. I'd watched her trying many times that afternoon to catch a fish. Even with her determination and perseverance, there was simply no luck. It was the end of the day and the last time I saw her fishing that day. She suddenly jumped into the river, pouncing. Still.... no catch. I couldn't help but wonder whether that was how she showed her frustrations.

I am a photographic artist who creates fictionalized portraits of farm animals, a deliberately playful method, functioning as a disruption of our belief that photographs portray factual realism. Photography seamlessly blends fact and fiction, creating a perfected vision so overwhelming, we find ourselves helpless to resist it. I invite the viewer to question the veracity of the images we consume every day, opening up the possibility for every photo to suggest a deeper, hidden authenticity.

This is one of many villages in Bulgaria, which in a few years will fall into the embrace of the past. There are 8 people in the village and they are all in the last stage of their lives. The houses are crumbling and you can see how nature is slowly taking over its territory. Wolves, bears and other predators are often seen in this village. Because of this, there are not many animals in the village - a few dogs and a donkey. Years ago, over 500 people lived in this village. There were little children, there was life. The village is located on the border between Greece and Bulgaria and getting

Double luck at Seljalandsfoss: after a cloudless day there were a few decorative clouds in the sky again at sunset and there was no wind that you could actually take photos behind the waterfall without soaking all your equipment (and without drops on the lens all the time)

Hello! I am Judith... I would like to call myself an “ambitious amateur photographer”. My main focus is nature and landscape photography, but I also like to make detours to other genres. Everything I know about photography is self-educated. A few books here, some internet research there, inspiration from the works of other photographers and a lot, really a lot of trying things out has brought me to where I am today. My great happiness is my home on beautiful Lake Constance. I have a lot of photo spots right on my doorstep and the way to the Austrian, Swiss and Italian Alps is not too far.

Sometimes we have to stop, to realize that we are just passengers on this amazing planet. And time is limited. It’s a constant process of living and dying.

Photography allows me to express my natural curiosity and to explore the interplay between the outer landscape and my inner landscape. Wild landscapes have always stirred complex and powerful emotions in me, and my photographs attempt to create a visual record of these emotions. Ultimately, it is my hope that my work evokes similar emotions in the viewer and expands his or her own appreciation of nature and art.

This picture was taken from Satkhira , Khulna, Bangladesh which is low-lying coastal region nearby word largest mangrove forest " Sundarban". People living in this region, even 2/3 years back they never thought that they will lose their households, agriculture land, school, hospital, mosque etc. Now every 24 hours they submersed with 4/5 feet water twice for 8/9 hours. The island's green belt is almost disappearing and new habitable land infrastructure is being lost to the sea every day due to rise of sea level and climate change caused by increase of global temperature day by day.

Rituals are at the centre of everything we do, this is the way we all have lived and it will continue for generations to come. It is our responsibility to pass on our culture and all the rituals to the next generation so that it can live for many more years to come. This was shot in a small town of Karnataka, Shravanabelagola, where thousands of devotees especially from Jain religion come every month to offer their prayers to Lord Bahubhali. The priest was offering kumkma water (red) right onto the idol's feet, a memorable moment.

A passionate & serious photographer who loves to capture nature, landscape, wildlife (incl macro), architecture & cityscape. For me, photography is one of the best ways to capture a moment that will neither reoccur naturally nor can be recreated by us artificially.

In the western coastal areas of Taiwan, due to a large amount of over-pumped groundwater, the stratum subsidence is obvious in many areas. In the coastal bay area of southwestern Taiwan affected by over-pumped groundwater, most of the groundwater level has dropped below sea level, and there is a considerable degree of suspicion of seawater intrusion. If groundwater overexploitation is not improved, it may lead to continuous subsidence of the ground. The temples, cemeteries and roads in the photo have been surrounded by water.

The series explore human beings in the modern age. Loss of identity and apathy are my main concepts of focus. I endeavor to create an allegorical world where both men and women stroll through the mazes of modern cities with no sense of direction.
