Spirit Bear

Spirit BearGreat Bear Rainforest, British ColumbiaPhoto: Paul Nicklen In a moss-draped rain forest in British Columbia, towering red cedars live a thousand years, and black bears are born with white fur. “Paul Nicklen is a master at getting closer. He gets close enough to take this beautiful forest with this beautiful bear, eating a salmon, and make it all come together in a photograph that captures your imagination. I feel like I’m there. I can almost smell that forest, the bear. This is Paul’s home. This looks like a photo he took in his backyard of a dear friend.” —Chris Johns, Editor in Chief

Aerial View, New York CityPhoto: Navid Baraty Watching the pace and flow of New York City from above is amazing. The constant stream of yellow taxis lining the avenues, the waves of pedestrians hurriedly crossing with the change of traffic signals, little figures disappearing into and emerging from the subway stations, the chorus of honking horns and sirens. It’s all so rhythmic and strangely soothing to watch. It makes me feel incredibly small.

Swimmers, Lake Superior, MinnesotaPhoto: Nick Otto I love all the empty space around the swimming platform. It shows how the lake is both huge and peaceful. The figures of the people become very small, and what makes the shot is the person jumping from the platform and appearing especially tiny surrounded by all that water.

Holi Celebration, IndiaPhoto: Anurag Kumar What makes this shot work is the dramatic burst of blue spurting into the crowd. No matter how frenetic and energy-filled the scene is, there still needs to be a moment among the frenzy. The blue hand also gives us one sharp point of focus in a sea of turbaned heads. Importantly, the vibrant blue contrasts so well with the yellows and the reds, making the whole scene alive with vitality.

Nove Mlyny, Czech RepublicPhoto: Petr Cunderlik When shooting landscapes, good light is absolutely essential, which is why photographers often rise before dawn. This photograph is all about the exquisite first light of day, which gives it a magical quality. Also, the still water serves as a mirror for the tree, and its reflection is what makes the photograph sing. Light changes very fast—you may only have ten minutes before this would be a very different shot.
