When the world slowed down during the pandemic, many of us found solace in the natural world. Here are a selection of photos that celebrate the best images of animals and nature.
From aerial shots and animals to landscapes, the stunning images have been submitted as entries to the Animals and Nature categories of this year’s CEWE Photo Award, the world’s largest photo competition, which aims to celebrate the best photography from across the globe.
The competition, which is open for submissions until May 31st, invites entrants to submit photos which celebrate the competition’s ‘Our world is beautiful’ theme.
The competition, now in its fourth edition, launched for entries in May 2020 and is open to everyone – from keen amateur photographers to established professionals.
Clare Moreton, photo expert at CEWE UK, said: ‘As we find ourselves living quieter lives during lockdown, many people have been taking great comfort in animals and the natural world. Whether it’s taking photos of our beloved pets or looking back on photos we took of wildlife on holidays abroad, engaging with photography of the natural world has been a great way to remind ourselves of the bigger picture.
‘We’ve really enjoyed seeing people’s entries to the CEWE Photo Award 2021 and are looking forward to seeing many more entries before the competition closes in May.’
