'The glaciers and ice caps of Iceland cover over 10% of the landmass. As they melt, especially in the summer months, the outflow forms networks of river channels which flow from the glaciers towards the sea, carrying sediment and volcanic soil.
When the flow of the rivers subsides, sediment settles on the river bed, leaving behind small temporary islands of dark volcanic sand that cause the channels of the rivers to split. The always-changing rivers systems can be several kilometers wide so it is only possible to see these patterns from an aerial perspective....'

'The Wadden Sea, located in the southeastern part of the North Sea, is the world’s largest unbroken system of intertidal sand, mud flats and wetlands in the world. A vast area along the coastlines of the three countries: The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. Declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, it has a high biological diversity and is an important area for both breeding and migrating birds. During low tide the shallow water which is left on the sand forms incredible unique structures which can look completely different each day...'

'This is the compound eye of a Deer Fly. A common pest around these parts, this fly has razor-sharp “teeth?” and will cut an incision into your skin and drink the blood that spills out. If I had a choice I’d rather feed a mosquito – at least there’s no mess! As with mosquitoes, it is an instinctual reaction to swat them when they land on you. Unfortunately they are far more difficult to swat and far more annoying.
This one I managed to hit, so yes, this fly was intentionally injured by me (he had it coming!). I stunned it and broke a wing so it couldn’t fly away, and the I got the crazy idea to photograph it’s eye. This was the result.'

#14 Abstracts – Wildart YOUNG Category Winner – D’Artagnan Sprengel, New Zealand.
'I stepped outside into the garden as I noticed the late afternoon sun was nicely backlighting the leaves of the flax [New Zealand Flax Phormium tenax]. I chose to take the photo in portrait orientation as I knew it would work better with the long, tall leaves. I decided on a shallow enough depth of field to create a sort of soft, dreamy background but still showing the outline of the other leaves.'

#1 Abstracts Gold Award Winner- Rachel Piper, United Kingdom.
'I took this photograph in an empty field one September morning, when the sun was still low in the sky; I was surrounded by spiders’ webs, which had been weaved on plants, and I became mesmerised by the beauty of the light falling on them. In order to capture the colourful spectrums, I selected the shallowest depth of field and chose my angle with care.'

9 Abstracts – Highly Commended – Brian Hammond, United Kingdom
'....I wanted to capture the evening swarming midges along the RSPB Leighton Moss causeway and experimented with a range of methods to do so. This image was taken by pre-setting and locking the focus plane while trying to maintain this distance with a section of the swarm. A slow shutter speed was used to capture their flight path, and a telephoto lens with extension tubes helped to limit the depth of focus, producing a suitable midge size and allowing the selection of an area with a high concentration of individuals....'

#30 Category Landscapes: Winner, ‘Il Bosco Incantato’ By Stanislao Basileo
'One winter morning in January taking advantage of the spectacle of the frost I went for a walk along the river Po looking for particular situations. At one point I was observing a spectacular situation created by many branches of larches falling to the ground completely covered by frost. It seemed to me an ‘Il bosco incantato'

'Stirling Falls, New Zealand is a marvelous sight in a marvelous country. Located in Milford Sound, it’s a waterfall that plummets 500 feet to land directly on the ocean’s surface. When the conditions are just right, the water falling from the sky impacts the rocks at the base off the cliff and ricochets outward, creating a marvelous display of patterns and textures....'

#21 Category Natural Art: Highly Commended, - ‘Sound And Vision’ By Alessandro Carboni
'I had the privilege to visit Alaska for the first time in 2015. Since then I felt in love with its unique natural environment: Alaska became a lifetime project. Every year I try to spend time through the wilderness seeking for an intimate way to portray its beauty. This picture represents one the most intense moments I could remember during my life. It was September 2015, when after two weeks waiting I had been lucky enough to experience an amazing mix of extraordinary elements, which I will never forget: the impressive display of the autumn colours at their top and the first snow of the season....'

#3 Category Black & White: Highly Commended, ‘Birch Columns’ By Kirsi Mackenzie
“This photo was taken in Finland. In preparation for the summer season, a crowd of birch trees sets off from deep in the forest to assume their seasonal postings throughout the Finnish landscape. Simplicity and tranquility create a Zen-like mood.
I converted this image to black and white to emphasize the texture. The absence of color allows concentrating on lines and forms without any distracting elements.”
