The one of the iguana reminded me of this shot I took in Singapore.

Re: World Nature Photography Awards 2022
Very nice images. Is the Icelandic glacier photo looking down into a hole or looking up out of a hole?

Worse is the fact that when the seal swims forward, it puts stress on any healing that might have been taking place.
This isn't nature; the gash looks as if it were caused by a propeller.
Which means mankind.

Re: World Nature Photography Awards 2022
I have a question for Graeme about the picture of the milky way. I thought to view the milky way (in the northern hemisphere) you had to look south but if you were looking south then you wouldn't see the aurora, is that right? If so then that photo can't be 'real' so it must be a composite of at least two images.

Re: World Nature Photography Awards 2022
Yeah, I had the same thought! The centre of the Milky Way is in the direction of Sagittarius so the most noticeable bit is visible from the Northern hemisphere, in the summer towards the South and as you say, not overhead. But since it's a disc that we're inside of, it's all the way round us, it is visible overhead, in the northern hemisphere, in the winter, but a much less dense section in Auriga. So if we're looking up, is the geezer with the ice picks leaning back and about to abseil down into the hole?

Re: World Nature Photography Awards 2022
Do I understand from your that my reasoning about the last photo ('The Grand Tetons') is correct? That it must be a composite and not something that could actually ever be seen in nature?
Which begs the question how then did it manage to be a winner in a World Nature Photography competition?

Re: World Nature Photography Awards 2022
I'm with you Ken. But I can't confirm which part of the Milky Way we're looking at and I've never been to Wyoming. So I asked my fellow astronomers, no reply as yet:
