Stunning American entries among winners of annual wildlife photography contest

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition has been showcasing outstanding nature photography from all over the world since 1965. Among this year's 15 winners are several from the United States, Alan Taylor reports for The Atlantic. Here are the American winning photos (though you should look through the whole list—there are some stunners in there).


Snow Exposure, above, won in the Black and White category. Photographer Max Waugh shot the stark, black-and-white image of a bison weathering a snowstorm in Yellowstone National Park.


Tapestry of Life, by Zorica Kovacevic, won in the Plants and Fungi division. It shows a Monterey cypress covered in orange algae and gray lichen in Point Lobos State Natural Reserve in California.


In Creation, winner of the Earth's Environments category, huge plumes of noxious steam and fine glass rise as lava from Hawaii's Mount Kilauea hits the ocean. Photographer Luis VilariƄo Lopez had to hire a helicopter to get the shot.
