Every day I look forward to seeing these amazing pictures captured by great photographers. Get to see amazing creatures also beautiful places and things. Most of all l’m forever in awe of our loving Creator
Yes Yvonne Simmons-Thiboou, our Creator made all this to be enjoyed by mankind to be appreciate . I really like hearing the birds chirping I the morning ..
Every photograph was beautiful.. except the one if the DEAD COYOTES. Why was the death of wildlife emulated as an award winning photograph?
Very disheartening to me, as I have always enjoyed the beautiful photography and winners of those capturing the beauty of nature’s wonders.
I’m befuddled by this picture of death in your portrayal of “Conservation”. Just saddens me. Sue Greenberg.
I was smiling enjoying all the pictures so beautiful animals the scenery. And then the pile of dead carcasses I didn’t need to see that it ruined the whole experience I don’t know why he was even allowed I’ll give it to you 100%
I applaud you for posting the coyote pictures. As much as we don’t want to see them, it’s important to know what is really going on around us. Kind of like cuddling your little dog or cat, but pretending that the stake you’re eating doesn’t matter. Yeah, it’s like that.
What an unspeakable tragedy the coyote kill is. Bad enough that it happens, but surely the meat could be harvested for kennels, zoos, wildlife reserves. Something to give that some value.
The future questions from grandchildren will be, “What was a coyote?”
If I ever thought it might be fun to visit Ohio, that pile of dead coyotes cancelled the idea forever. The world is already too full of barbarians without having to seek them out.
The coyote photograph is valid. This is what wildlife faces. I would be interested in a stomach contents study on these “harvested” coyotes to see if they really do interfere with farmers crop animals.
Wanting to only see the beautiful wildlife photographs is nice, but wildlife is under constant threat, and the coyote photograph brings that home to all of us who love the natural world. It hurts, but it should spur us on to keep working! Keep fighting for those who cannot speak for themselves!
It’s important to see the good and the bad. Conservation efforts here in the US for all animals is important. I’ve seen coyotes hunt and eat rodents that eat crops. We all can help educate based on verified data.
I agree, why a horrible photo of dead coyotes won an award? It’s such a horrifying waste. It seems the older I get the more I treasure nature including wildlife.
My name is Oliver, and I am an amateur street and architecture photographer who loves to capture the essence of travel through my lens. I use iPhone 14 and Sony 6400 camera paired with the versatile Tamron 18mm-300mm f/3.5-f/6.3 lens to bring my vision to life.

These pictures are outstanding! They capture an imagination!
As I am an avid animal lover, the picture of the foxes makes me feel ill!
Awesome photos.

I 100% agree, it was disheartening and disgusting seeing how people actually do this and are proud. This pic shouldn’t have been posted on here .

I would like to know if possible to get information on each photographer and ask permission to use photo for resale and pay royalty’s

I was thinking along these same lines. Surely there is SOME way to utilize the meat or something. Absolutely heartbreaking.
