13TH PLACE
Marine Iguana
Fernandina Island, Galapagos, Ecuador
By Filippo Borghi
On the way back from the far north islands of the
Galapagos archipelago, we decided to change our route
and head toward Fernandina for a day of photographing
marine iguanas underwater. After more than a half
hour of searching I finally encountered one. To my
amazement it did not stray but rather seemed intrigued,
looking right into the lens between mouthfuls.

7TH PLACE
Milky Way over Spouting Horn
Po’ipu, Kaua’i, Hawai’i, USA
By Aaron Feinberg
Spouting Horn is a hugely popular attraction; the ocean is forced through an old lava
tube and sprays upward like a geyser, making a huge, startling, whistling sound. I
spent an hour rattling off 25-second exposures and playing with the lighting, all while
waiting for the right wave to send the spray shooting upward but not blocking the stars.
