Winners of the 2024 Natural Landscape Photography Awards (19 photos)

The winning images from the fourth annual Natural Landscape Photography Awards were just announced. The competition was started to “promote the very best landscape photography by digital and film photographers who value realism and authenticity in their work,” with rules set up to prevent deceptive editing techniques. A total of 1,134 photographers entered from 59 countries this year, in categories named “Grand Scenic,” “Intimate Landscapes,” and “Abstract & Details.” Contest organizers were once more kind enough to share their winners and runners-up.

Mountains, Runner-Up. A Patch of Sunlight on Beinn Eighe in late Autumn. "After a few days of the peaks of Beinn Eighe being hidden, the clouds finally lifted to reveal a light dusting of early snow. The weather was stormy, but occasional breaks in the cloud illuminated tiny patches of the autumnal grasses on the flanks of the mountain." ( Sophie Carr / Natural Landscape Photography Awards)
