Authenticity and artistry are highlighted in the international landscape photography competition.

(NADS) - The "Nature Landscape Photography Awards" - A landscape photography competition that prioritizes “subject integrity” and avoids digital manipulation, editing, and artificial intelligence, has announced its final winners.

The Natural Landscape Photography Awards are in their fourth year and were founded by four landscape photographers – Tim Parkin, Matt Payne, Alex Nail and Rajesh Jyothiswaran – to “promote the best landscape and nature photography by digital and film photographers who value realism and authenticity in their work”.

Strict Contest rules are in place to eliminate images that do not accurately reflect the reality of the entry. For example, compositing multiple images together, removing elements from the image, distorting objects in the image, and multiple exposures are all prohibited in the contest. The Organizing Committee will check the RAW files of the finalists.

Here are some of the winning entries from the Nature Landscape Photography Awards.

Photographer of the Year Award

First Prize - Author Andrew Mielzynski

“During the pandemic, I was walking with my camera in a park in Toronto, Canada during a fierce snowstorm. I came across this scene, which at the time looked very chaotic with many trees tangled together. I liked the look of the snow clinging to the bark of the trees due to the strong wind. I took a few frames and tried to simplify the scene in front of me and decided on this one, I like its tone, depth and minimalism,” shares author Andrew Mielzynski.

Andrew Mielzynski: “Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada, is a place known for its natural beauty. Light dances across the water of a small stream, illuminating the brightly colored rocks. The vibrant rocks, the light, and the lovely flow of the stream combine to create this unique image.”
