Black-browed Albatross, winning photograph by Rodrigo Tapia Jimenez
The Photography Competition “Albatrosses, their World and Threats” organized as part of the celebrations of World Albatross Day (WAD2020) was well received, with 360 photographs from 91 photographers submitted from all over the world.
Really beautiful and stunning images were submitted. We appreciate the participation of everyone who shared their photographs and so helped increase awareness of the threats facing albatrosses.
The jury, consisting of Christine Bogle, Pablo Cáceres, Marco Favero, Jim Hurst, Veronica López, Rodrigo Moraga, Tatiana Neves and Michelle Risi, had the difficult task of selecting 20 short-listed images which subsequently went to popular vote via WAD’s Instagram page. Finally, of the three most highly voted photographs by the public, the jury defined 1st, 2nd and 3rd places, as given below:
1st Place: Black-browed Albatross Thalassarche melanophris, Drake Passage by Rodrigo Tapia Jimenez @rodrigotapiawildlifephoto
Opinions of the judges:
"By far, this is the one I like most because I think represents in a very best way the life, the habitat, and freedom of the albatross. As well a very awesome point of view and beautiful light and colours. Also an excellent description".
"The first-place photo is what I've always wanted to see of an albatross life, what it's like to live and move through the windy oceans. This was also the most difficult shot to get”

2nd Place: Salvin’s Albatross Thalassarche salvini, Valparaiso, Chile by Eduardo Navarro @edonavarroce
Opinions of the judges:
"Perfect moment. Beautiful bird, beautiful light, beautiful colours. Such a nice reflection. And a very good text as well"
3rd Place: Salvin’s Albatross Thalassarche salvini, Quintero, Chile by Rodrigo Ortega @rodrigortega.cl
Opinion of the judges
"Special moment, good pose and capture"
