The National Wildlife Federation garnered 32,000 entries in its nature photography contest.
Winners came from such far flung cities around the world as Guangdong, China; Hawalli, Kuwait; Esher, England; and Rigsby, Idaho.
And one winner, Chet Hicks, came from Lebanon.
He won the People in Nature category with a photo of an angler at Bennett Spring State Park.
Hicks shot his winning photo in January when the snow was falling. A diehard angler was wading the stream just below the stone bridge as the snowflakes swirled, obscuring his image and creating dark reflections on the water.
