- I am Coralie Mänche (Coralie Duda Fotografie) from Germany. The photo was taken at the Westman-Islands / South Iceland. The two puffins waited for me right in front of the sun going down. Such a wonderful moment to watch them together.

- Comment: A night landscape picture of a strangely beautiful environment. The aurora, the reflection of the water, the white mountains on either side, all together are a poetic picture. Well done.

- Wolves howl to communicate their location to other pack members and to ward off rivaling packs from their territory. Great light and moment. Wonderful capture.

- Thank you for the Mark of excellence! My name is Markus Kumpf and I work as a musician in Germany. I lured this moth, a beech stretch foot, with a fluorescent screen and photographed its impressive antennae as large as possible. I took the picture with my Canon EOS R7 and the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM (100mm, f/6.3, 1/25s, ISO 3200).
