Photographers are our ambassadors, and our eyes and those events allow us to make the object of their work regarding the widest possible audience. Today, it’s crucial to focus on our planet’s natural splendor and the dangers. It’s no longer just about beautiful photographs.”Have you visible some of the entries yet?

“Nature photography shows us an overview of the situation, once in a while in a completely aesthetic shape, but in current years, it has advanced right into an image that well-known shows a context that, like several documentary images, explores the connection of the dwelling to a territory. In this feel, it strongly issues us all.”
