These 15 snaps were part of the CEWE Photo Award, the world’s largest photo competition.

Part of the “animal” category, they show the beauty and intrigue of the natural world.

In awe of the world

The CEWE Photo Award is open to amateurs and professionals alike.

Entrants submitted photos that celebrated an “Our World is Beautiful” theme.

There were 10 categories to enter – from aerial shots and animals to landscapes, travel and culture.

“This category always provides stunning images. They truly celebrate the beauty of the world,” a photo expert at CEWE UK, said.

“It’s incredible to see animals in their natural habitats in the sea and on land.

“The photos show such unique perspectives. It really does leave you feeling in awe of the world.

True beauty of the world

“We’ve really enjoyed seeing people’s entries. We’re looking forward to sharing more soon.”

In spring 2022, the CEWE Photo Award will return for a 5th year.

Here, they share some of the best photos from last year.
