Grand Prize Winner Winter Horseman (Photo and caption by Anthony Lau /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) "Winter Horseman," illustrates the harsh climate that  the people of Mongolia must survive. Taken by Anthony Lau of Hong Kong,  the photo won both the grand prize and first place in the People  category. <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo01GrandPrize.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "The  winter in Inner Mongolia is very unforgiving. At a freezing temperature  of minus twenty and lower, with a constant breeze of snow from all  direction, it was pretty hard to convince myself to get out of the car  and take photos. When I saw Inner Mongolia horsemen showing off their  skills and commanding the steed from a distance. I quickly grabbed my  telephoto lens and captured the moment when one of the horseman charged  out from morning mist." First Place, Nature "Wherever you go, I will follow you!!" Taken in Biei, Hokkaido, Japan (Photo and caption by Hiroki Inoue /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo02NatureFirstPlace.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "It  was when I drove back home feeling disappointed with the fact that I  had finished the day in vain without any anticipated subject that I  heard the joyful voice from the car window like "quack, quack!" There  they were: red foxes. Around the end of the winter, they meet the season  of love; they care for and love each other enough to make us jealous." First Place, Cities ("Ben Youssef") Taken in Marrakesh, Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz, Morocco (Photo and caption by Takashi Nakagawa /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo03CitiesFirstPlace.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "Marrakesh  is an exciting city for any traveler, but I was tired of walking on the  crowded street and being asked for money from local people, so I was  looking for a place to settle down. Even though there were a lot of  people in Madrasa, it was still a more quiet and relaxing place than  outside. Suddenly a beautiful reflection appeared on the shallow pool  when I was taking a rest. It was a cloudy day so I could only see it  when the wind stopped blowing and sunlight hit this Islamic  architecture." Second Place, People ("Rooftop Dreams, Varanasi") Taken in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India (Photo and caption by Yasmin Mund /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo05PeopleSecondPlace.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "It  was 5:30 a.m. and I had just arrived in Varanasi, India, off a sleeper  train. I got to my guesthouse and instinctively climbed the seven  flights of stairs to see the sunrise over the famous Ganges River.  As I  looked over the side of the rooftop terrace, my jaw dropped in  disbelief. Below were mothers, fathers, children, cats, dogs, and  monkeys all sleeping on their roofs. It was midsummer in Varanasi and  sleeping without air-conditioning was pretty difficult. Can you spot the  curry?" Second Place, Nature ( "Double trapping") Taken along the Rio Negrinho in Brazil (Photo and caption by Massimiliano Bencivenni /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo04NatureSecondPlace.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "I  was in the Brazilian Pantanal along the Rio Negrinho. I realized that  the river, at certain points of the loops, created places where there  were many yacare caimans. I saw a yacare sink suddenly, and I  immediately looked for the best location to photograph when it  resurfaced. The whole thing lasted only a fraction of a moment." Second Place, Cities ("Silenced") Taken in Guangzhou, Guangdong Sheng, China (Photo and caption by Wing Ka H. /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo06CitiesSecondPlace.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "This  photo was taken on my last trip to Guangzhou, China. This place is the  school dormitories of South China Normal University. When I was hanging  around, most of them were taking a break. After lunchtime, they needed  to go back to study." Third Place, People ("Remote life at -21 degree") Taken in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India (Photo and caption by Mattia Passarini /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo08PeopleThirdPlace.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "An old woman in a remote village in Himachal Pradesh, India, carries a big log back home to warm up her house." Third Place, Nature "Lagunas Baltinache (Atacama Desert)" Taken in San Pedro de Atacama, Antofagasta, Chile (Photo and caption by Victor Lima /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo07NatureThirdPlace.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "I  made this photo during my recent photographic expedition in Atacama  Desert, in April 2016. I embarked alone on this adventure to find images  not yet published of the most arid desert in the world and its  contrasts.  Despite the Atacama Desert being one of the best places on  the planet to do night photography. Therefore, I sought one of the  places recently discovered in the Atacama Desert and one that shows all  the contrast of this desert to make night shots: the Baltinache Ponds." Third Place, Cities "Celestial Reverie" Taken in George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia (Photo and caption by Jeremy Tan /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo09CitiesThirdPlace.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "Lightning  seemingly strikes Komtar Tower, the most iconic landmark of George  Town, capital of Penang state in Malaysia, during a thunderstorm. It is  symbolic of the rejuvenation that the city, famous for a unique blend of  centuries-old buildings and modern structures, has enjoyed in recent  years. While many of its old neighborhoods fell into neglect in the  1990s and early 2000s, a UNESCO World Heritage listing in 2008 sparked a  transformation." Honorable Mention, People "Muscle Beach Gym" Taken in Venice Beach, California, United States (Photo and caption by Dotan Saguy /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo10PeopleHonorableMention.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "A  weightlifter lifts a barbell loaded with heavy plates while a  bodybuilder performs an aerial handstand at the Muscle Beach Gym in  Venice Beach, California." Honorable Mention, Nature "Bears on a Berg" Taken in Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut, Canada (Photo and caption by John Rollins /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo12NatureHonorableMention.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "The  location is on the sea ice in Davis Straight, off the coast of Baffin  Island in the Canadian Arctic, on April 2, 2016. This mother polar bear  and her yearling are perched atop a huge snow-covered iceberg that got  socked in when the ocean froze over for the winter. To me, the relative  smallness of these large creatures when compared to the immensity of the  iceberg in the photo represents the precariousness of the polar bear's  reliance on the sea and sea ice for its existence." Honorable Mention, Cities "Divide" Taken in Manhattan, New York, United States (Photo and caption by Kathleen Dolmatch /National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest) <img src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/creativeContent/images/cms/070516natgeo11CitiesHonorableMention.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "From  a doorless helicopter looking south on Central Park West, dividing the  architecture and Central Park, on November 5, 2014, a day before my 27th  birthday. The flight was my birthday gift."</blockquote>
