ASFERICO Nature Photography Competition 2022

Subjects must be photographed in their natural environment.

The jury reserves the right to reject images which may be in contrast with the ethic of the contest.

CATEGORIES:
Landscape - The majesty of a scenario or the intimacy of a glimpse represent the inspiration of every photographer, who has to instill the feeling of amazement given by the uncontaminated nature.

Underwater worlds - The underwater world is unknown to most people. The submarine life (plants, animals or habitats), from marine to freshwater environments, is a fascinating subject and it can be portrayed with images able to tell their essence in a unique and unforgettable
experience.

Mammals - The fantastic diversity of shapes, behaviors and relationships of the animal kingdom can be pictured through portraits, settings or action scenes able to instill the character or the soul of the subject in an original and exciting way.

Composition and forms - The beauty of nature can be resumed with imagination and creativity playing with shapes and colors and with blurry and reflctions while looking for unique and personal visions.

Man and nature - A combination of contrasts and contradictions, but also of balances and coexistence. Every photographer for once in his/her life must have photographed meaningful pictures able to impress the observer sensitizing to a respect for nature that is often lacking.
