25th National Geographic Travel Photo Contest Winners

 

 

First Place: Dig me river – I was in Manaus/Amazon during the Brazilian Aquathlon (swimming and running) championship in . This river is called Rio Negro (Black River) due to water color. Rio Negro is the largest left tributary of the Amazon, the largest blackwater river in the world. While the name Rio Negro means Black River, its waters aren’t exactly black; they are similar in color to strong tea. The dark color comes from humic acid from incomplete breakdown of phenol. I photographed it from the water and my lens got completely wet, but there was so energy in this boys that I just didn’t worry about that.Photo and caption by Wagner Araujo/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest

Amazing 3D Art By Ramon Bruin

It’s amazing how Ramon Bruin could draw those wonderful 3D illustrations.

Ramon is a freelance Dutch artist who graduated from the Airbrush Academie in the Netherlands.

Feather of a raven: “Airbrushing is a great technique for making paintings with depth and realism,” Bruin told the New York Daily News. The 31-year-old artist’s work weaves, bends, and wraps across the page.
