It was only in 2018 that we realized a need for a separate category, in which people could share their best photos of the mountain flora and fauna. We all like to photograph, what Barbara Walter calls - "the monuments of nature." Many of these photos are quite stunning. Here are the winner of:
Bożena and Jacek Wojno Award - "Mountain Flora and Fauna"
2018 - Marek Kucmierz - "It's all mine!"
Some of the comments were:
I think the title captures well what is happening in this photo. Marmots are most often photographed close to their holes, or against the background of rocks. To catch a marmot, nicely placed in the center of the photo, with all these magnificent mountains in the background, is a rare treat! (Piotr) Lovely picture, but more in the spirit of “Macro-“ than “Micro-world.” (Piotr) „Moje góry; światynia dumania .... i spokoju”(Bozena) For the second place I will vote for M8 (This is all mine), since I am always partial to the photos displaying animals. We all have to appreciate that photos showing animals are not always easy to shoot. (Michał) Fajne ujęcie świstaka wydawało, by się podziwiającego piękno krainy, w której mieszka. Jak tu nie wierzyć ze zwierzaki tez maja swoje nastroje i są wrażliwe na piękno...(Jacek)
