कहते हैं प्रकृति हर पल अपना रंग रूप बदलती है और प्रकृति के रंग इतने खूबसूरत होते हैं कि बिना पलक झपकाए निहारा जा सकता है. प्रकृति के इन रंगों को कैद करना आसान काम नहीं है. पर कुछ फ़ोटोग्राफ़र इन खूबसूरत लम्हों को तस्वीरों में कैद करने में कामयाब हुए हैं. फिर चाहे वो समुन्दर के नीले पानी में फैले अलग-अलग रंगों के जीवों की हलचल हो या मैदानी और बर्फ़ीले पहाड़ों पर रहने वाले जानवरों की एकता, ये फ़ोटोग्राफ़र इन फोटोज़ को खींच कर हमें नेचर के करीब ले जाते हैं. इसके लिए इनकी जितनी तारीफ़ की जाए कम है. आज हम आपके लिए ऐसी ही कुछ बेहतरीन और कल्पना से परे तस्वीरें लेकर आये हैं.
नेशनल ज्योग्राफ़िक ने हाल ही में 2017 के अपने प्रतिष्ठित Nature Photographer of the Year प्रतियोगिता के रिज़ल्ट्स की घोषणा की है. इनमें जो विनिंग शॉट्स हैं वो पूरी तरह से धरती मां को समर्पित हैं. इस प्रतियोगिता में वाइल्डलाइफ़, लैंडस्केप, एरियल और अंडरवॉटर कैटेगरीज़ के लिए कुल मिलाकर 11,000 फ़ोटोज़ शामिल हुईं थीं.
इस कॉन्टेस्ट में Grand-Prize जीतने वाले फ़ोटोग्राफ़र को 7,500 डॉलर यानि लगभग 5 लाख रुपये का इनाम मिलेगा. इसके अलावा विजेता द्वारा खींची गई फ़ोटो नेशनल ज्योग्राफ़िक मैगज़ीन के लेटेस्ट एडिशन में प्रकशित की जायेगी. साथ ही हर कैटेगरी के लिए प्रथम विजेता को $2,500 डॉलर यानि तकरीबन 1 लाख 70 हज़ार रुपये की इनाम राशि दी जायेगी.
Bored Panda वेबसाइट के माध्यम से इन कॉन्टेस्ट के विजेताओं की फ़ोटोज़ सहित हम प्रतियोगिता की बेस्ट फ़ोटोज़ आपके लिए लेकर आये हैं. तो अब देर किस बात की है, देखिये इन अद्भुत, अविश्वसनीय और अकल्पनीय फोटोज़ को और पहुंच जाइये प्रकृति के करीब.
