Nature - Winners Gallery - National Geographic Photo Contest 2011 - National Geographic Arrows of rain seem to pelt a dragonfly in Indonesia's Riau Islands in "Splashing,” the winning image of the 2011 National Geographic Photography Contest. To capture the photo, photographer Shikhei Goh took advantage of “superb lighting” and a friend spraying water on the dragonfly to simulate rain. The result is a "very striking macrophotography image that rose to the top of the nature category for me because of its originality, beautiful light, rare action in a close-up image, as well as its technical perfection," said Tim Laman, one of three National Geographic magazine photographers who judged the contest. "You can almost feel the dragonfly's experience of bracing itself against the water," said judge Amy Toensing. The insect's plight also appealed to judge Peter Essick, who said the photograph gives the dragonfly a "character us humans can relate to." Editors’ Note, January 12, 2012: This caption has been edited to accurately reflect how Goh took the picture.

215 The 10 Most Expensive Photographs in the World 2010 National Geographic Photo Contest - Galleries Photo and caption by Chan Kwok Hung . An Indonesian farmer and his buffalo charge through the mud in "Buffalo Race," an image that contest judge Joel Sartore called "an epic scene." Farmers literally put a lot of stock into winning these annual races, which they believe will bring them luck during the upcoming growing season, according to photographer Chan Kwok Hung of Hong Kong. National Geographic magazine senior photo editor and judge Sadie Quarrier praised the image as a "nicely composed, very real moment." "I'm immediately drawn to the expression on the guy's face, with his open mouth and tightly squeezed eyes as if he's barely holding on." Freelance photographer and judge Stephen Alvarez called the photo "high action perfectly captured. Added Sartore, a freelance photographer, "Peak action, interesting subject matter, and a soft background all combined to make this image a winner."
