1. I have the priceless opportunity to see how these amazing builders are building their own "home" from the very beginning to end - from the base of the leaves until the last few sprigs. And all this in order to please the lady of the heart. (Jiri Slama)

2. Beautiful frosty landscape at sunset in Alberta. (Dwayne Holmwood)

3. Located in the commercial dock Port Orford, Oregon, a small cozy restaurant, a seafood restaurant, decorated for the holiday. Life in this fishing village as if stuck in the past when life was less hectic, and when we have noticed and appreciated the simple pleasures of life. (Randall Scholten)

4. Only at home, looking at the photo on the computer, I saw that this girl looks directly at the camera. (Juan Pablo Velasco)

5. A woman riding between cars, heading north from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Her luggage is under the car. Was Ramadan, which culminates in a three-day feast of Eid al-Fitr. Tens of thousands of people go to their villages from the cities to celebrate this holiday with the family. Trains are overcrowded, and many who could not buy a ticket (because they were not, or they simply could not afford it), are forced to travel on the roofs of trains or, like this woman, between the cars. (Amy Helene Johansson)

6. I've been trying to catch in the frame this bee. After several attempts, I do finally succeeded. Here it is, nature - always changing and plentiful. And a lifetime and one camera is not enough to properly grasp its beauty. (Dev Banerjee)

13. An unknown person for the behavior of forest wolves disclosed in this picture: almost human love and affection on the verge of respect. This is usually hidden from human eyes. At the heart becomes warm, and a feeling that this is not fearless animal and pet who wants to hug and cuddle.

14. During our magical trip to Iceland was often rain. After we crossed the peninsula Snæfellsnes, everything has changed, and there were these hrustalevidnye clouds. Having made this image, I saw a rainbow, which held half an hour. Very surreal day. (Matthew Wynyard)

One has only to think that the landscape you can not be surprised, some miracle right there. (Jennifer Jesse)

19. I'm not even going to do that photo - I happened to be in this place after my original destination (Golden Gate Bridge Bridge) was completely absorbed in the fog. I am very glad that I managed to get across the Embarcadero, because the Bay Bridge is simply amazing! (Kristin Repsher)
