Heavenly flamingos by Junji Takasago, Japan. Winner, natural artistry. Takasago powers through altitude sickness to produce a dream-like scene. He crept towards the preening group of Chilean flamingos. Framing their choreography within the reflected clouds, he fought back his altitude sickness to capture this dream-like scene. High in the Andes, Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt pan. It is also one of Bolivia’s largest lithium mines, which threatens the future of these flamingos. Lithium is used in batteries for phones and laptops. Daniel Campos province, Bolivia. (Photo by Junji Takasago/Wildlife Photographer of the Year)
