The German Society for Nature Photography has just announced the winners of the Nature Photographer of the Year 2020 contest, and the shots are absolutely beautiful.
“Due to the coronavirus pandemic, voting was not carried out during the annual general meeting but was completed online for the first time ever in GDT’s history with great participation by its members,” the organization told Bored Panda in a statement.
Professional photographers competed in 7 categories: Birds, Mammals, Other Animals, Plants and Fungi, Landscapes, Nature’s Studio, and the special category — Water.
