Nature Conservancy Australia reached me in June to check whether I'd be keen on being a judge during the current year's Nature Photo Competition. Obviously I would!
I've respected crafted by the Nature Conservancy in the US for quite a long time. They additionally spread their exercises far and wide and have effectively ensured more than 48 million hectares of land and a huge number of kilometers of waterways. What I especially like about the Nature Conservancy is the way they do everything in logical cooperation. They have a solid negotiating prudence as well. They don't go up against each task, yet center around those which have a sureness of accomplishment and most noteworthy effect on long haul survival of all biodiversity on earth.
Here in Australia, they have not been grinding away as long, but rather are developing significantly consistently. So obviously I was pleased and regarded to be included.
I figured I would share my musings on a portion of the triumphant pictures. Perhaps this will give you bits of knowledge into how judges think and make you design your own particular winning pictures, regardless of whether for section in the 2017 rivalry or for different purposes.
Water Category AND general victor of The Nature Conservancy Australia Photo Competition 2016
'Eye Spy' by Mark Seabury

To me the remarkable victor in the Water class was the whale with the vigilant gaze. It was extraordinary. It was a picture that said "water" unequivocally. I have never observed a whale photograph like it. When you look at the photograph nearly, your eye discovers increasingly detail to find. The eyes of humpback whales are ordinarily covered up and shaded, so it is surprising to discover one "looking" with such a solid, clear look. It is likewise in such an irregular position, dead vertical, with just its nose out of the water. Again something that isn't basic humpback conduct. It was an extreme require the picture taker to put this picture in the Water class rather than the Wildlife one. Be that as it may, the way this says "water" to me is in the lightness of the whale; he's playing in/with his component, he is an ace of his area.
