This is really beautiful, it really inspires me to work harder for a camera I have to earn.

That is a beautiful picture. I love close up pictures on nature. I asked my parents if I could save up money for a nice camera to do my own photography aroung the woods we have. But this is a wonderful picture.

I love Smithsonian Magazine. Your article on the orchid fair in Singapore changed my life. I have now joined the San Diego Orchid Society. Thank you.

I really like this photo, reminds me of something one would see in Harper's Magazine from years gone by... Congrats!

Love this black & white photo...especially the dust flying everywhere...would not have been as visible had it been in color...but unfortunately, cannot compete against the vivid greens of the Borneo bird entry. Nice shot. Congrats!

Like this photo in as photo, however sometimes if the main focus had worn bright vivid mixture of colors, can become a striking photo as well. Congrats!

Love the highlights seen at the bottom of the trees into the crevice. This photo almost has a "surreal" look about it. Congrats!

To me, this photo is symbolic of the "man in the moon"...very nice shot....congrats!

This is a beautiful shot though it couldn't compete with the vibrant green of the Borneo bird entry. I love how you saw the plume of "smoke" arising from the mountain...plus love the shooting stars streaking through the sky...great shot. Congrats!

I like the Natural World winning photo, but the figure appears to have two heads! Was there a time lapse? Can the photographer explain was happening in the image?

Gorgeous. My only disappointment is that the download desktop version of this beautiful photograph leaves out the entire top part, which is the very part that makes this photo so stunning.

Which camera type was used to snap this picture? The sharpness is superb.
