"Competition Winner: Capturing the Beauty of Nature's Champions" In a stunning display of photographic excellence, the joint winner of the COP26 Countdown Photo Competition 2021 takes us on a mesmerizing journey. A pair of little blue penguins stand proudly on rocks, their silhouettes illuminated against the dazzling lights of Melbourne city. This enchanting image transports us to St Kilda breakwater in Victoria, Australia, where these charming creatures steal our hearts. From Australia to Namibia, we encounter another remarkable champion. The gemsbok gracefully navigates through sand dunes with unparalleled elegance and poise. Its majestic presence reminds us of nature's ability to thrive even in harsh environments. Our exploration continues as we witness a polar bear traversing Champ Island glacier above the sea. With each powerful stride, this magnificent creature embodies strength and resilience amidst an ever-changing climate. Venturing beneath the waves, we discover a dense growth of bootlace seaweed in Kimmeridge, Dorset. This captivating photograph has earned its place as highly commended in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition 2022 - Plants and Fungi category. It serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even in seemingly ordinary places. A heartwarming scene unfolds before our eyes as a Caribbean flamingo chick seeks shelter under its protective parent's wing. This tender moment showcases both love and survival instincts within nature's intricate tapestry. Moving eastward to Siberia, we witness a female Siberian tiger marking her territory by rubbing her cheek against trees—a powerful symbol of dominance and strength that echoes throughout untamed landscapes. Sunlight pierces through crystal-clear waters illuminating a green turtle swimming gracefully amidst rays of light—an ethereal black-and-white image captured off Akumal's coast—reminding us that nature is filled with moments deserving admiration. Reflecting upon stillness and serenity, we encounter a pine marten mirrored perfectly in the calm waters of Ardnamurchan Peninsula.
