Powerful Photo Competition Focuses on Nature’s Death and Decay https://petapixel.com/2026/04/10/powerful-photo-competition-focuses-on-natures-death-and-decay/ #closeupphotographeroftheyear #naturephotography #natureismetal #Spotlight #Features #wildlife #cupoty #News

We spent some time at the Myakka River yesterday. It was an extremely gorgeous day, but we noticed a bunch of buzzards congregating on the opposite river bank. Where there are buzzards, there is death. I looked around and noticed dead fish scattered along the bank. Fearing some environmental disaster, I asked a guy with a boat why all the dead fish and he replied that it was probably the recent cold snap. #Florida #nature #NatureIsMetal

Skeleton of a Reticulated Python, with angled light picking out the bones. The Natural History Museum in Tring is one of my places on darkening afternoons. The gothic filigree of the snake’s ribs in the shadows of the cabinet always makes me pause.

It is horny season again! ♥️

These two #roebucks 🦌 are at it again every evening, fighting for the trophy you can see in the background.

They are relentless, I can tell you. It is so amazing watching this basically in front of our house. They were like 20m away from me.

Ich hab's heute geschafft, eine #Elster im Flug zu fotografieren!!

Eigentlich wollte ich sie beim Sitzen auf einer Graffiti-Mauer festhalten, da flog sie plötzlich los. Und ich mit Handy und Handytelefokus wild mitgezogen und ausgelöst (das löst ja verspätet aus und beim Mitziehen mischt der Stabilizer behäbig mit)...

und hat irgendwie geklappt!!

Yeah!

A green lacewing larva (f. Chrysopidae) eating an aphid in Central Park in late May. Lacewing larva are a bit terrifying, but the adults are nearly harmless.

Gelada society is based on a multi-level social system. Female geladas form the core of these societies, with groups of related females, their offspring, and one or more adult males. These groups are called reproductive units or harems.
