![]() “Picture Perfect” by Janine Krayer (All rights reserved). Finalist, Natural World. Each year, Smithsonian magazine’s photo contest provides a platform for photographers to share their work with a global audience. For the 17th edition of the competition, ;Smithsonian ;magazine received over 36,000 submissions from 145 countries, making it a truly international contest. From that pool, the contest has announced 60 finalists across six different categories. Travel, People, Natural World, Altered Images, Mobile, and American Experience are the diverse categories that photographers submitted their work to for the 2019 contest. This opens up the awards to a variety of subject matters and photographers of different skill levels. From images that explore cultural traditions to portraits of exotic wildlife, the selected photographs each demonstrate a high level of technical and aesthetic skill. Janine Krayer’s portrait of female leopard lounging on a tree branch pops thanks to her use of depth of field and the perfect framing of the tree to bring attention to this stunning animal. In the travel category, Natnattcha Chaturapitamorn perfectly frames father and son in a ray of light in a photograph that both spotlights their familial bond and the incredible natural environment. In contrast, photographer Matt Gillespie shows the heartbreaking reality of mother nature in his image of a lone house saved from destruction by a tornado. See all of the finalists on ;Smithsonian magazine and vote for your favorite to win People’s Choice. Voting is open until March 30, 2020. The grand prize, category, and people’s choice winners will all be announced on March 31, 2020.
