I still remember the first time I photographed Craig, the world’s largest tusker. We had heard he was in the area, and my heart was racing at the thought of finally seeing him. After hours of searching, we spotted him — a living legend, calmly moving through the Amboseli landscape, his massive tusks nearly touching the ground.
But nature had one more gift in store for us. Kilimanjaro stood tall in the distance, its peak peeking through the clouds. We waited. And waited. For five hours, we watched as Craig slowly made his way across the plains, hoping he would line up perfectly with the mountain. Just as the sun began to dip, casting that golden glow across the savannah, he paused — right where we had dreamed he would.
It was a moment of pure magic, the kind you can’t plan for, only hope to witness. And when I finally clicked the shutter, I knew we had captured something truly special.

– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наившим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
