The color green is not just one of the primary colors on the color wheel, it has a deep symbolic meaning. In fact, language research shows that green is one of the first colors to appear in a new language, present among the vast majority of the languages of the world. All this means that green is an essential color, one that is associated with key concepts like nature, rebirth, life, and more recently - relaxation.
Both plant- and wildlife are abundant in the color green. Ranging from the dark green pine forests of Northern Europe to the emerald green tropical forests of Indonesia and the lime green eyes of the green viper, these photos demonstrate the full scale of nature’s beauty worldwide. The 27 photographs are all finalists of yet another long-awaited contest by Agora Images that intends to express what the color green means to photographers across the globe.
Let’s admire the emerald green beauty of these photographs, starting with the winning shot - a positive photo of a Bangladeshi boy covering his head with leaves and flowers to shield himself from the rain by Asaf Ud Daula.
