30 Winning Photos Of The 2021 Nature Photographer Of The Year Awards

28. Runner-Up, Black And White: “Yin And Yang” By Gheorghe Popa

“This is a photo I took in the middle of the day and this is an aerial view of Cuejdel lake in winter before the complete frost of the water. Cuejdel is the largest natural dam in Romania, which is the explanation for these trees.

The idea came up in me during a winter when I observed the lines created by the shades of the trees in the middle of the day over the surface of the lake completely covered with snow. But this time the lake wasn’t completely covered with ice, that allowed me to obtain this Yin and Yang effect.”
