2019 Nature Photographer Of The Year Winners Announced


It isn’t a secret that we’re huge nature and wildlife fans here at BabaMail, and we anticipate few things as much as we do the various annual wildlife and nature photography competitions, such as the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards and Bird Photography Awards, for example.
We even created an entire collection of award-winning nature photography recently. But it's a truly special treat is to be able to present to you the winners and notable entries of the 2019 Nature Photographer Of The Year competition, which showcases some of the best nature photos of each year across 11 vastly different, but equally alluring categories.
This year’s entries encompass a fascinating selection of 14,000 images featuring anything starting from adorable lion cubs to picturesque mountains, delicate flowers, and majestic whales, all in one collection. This year’s winner is an incredibly dynamic photo of rabbits leaping through the air by Hungarian photographer Csaba Daroczi.
