One of my favorite magazines is Audubon. The January-February 2012 issue has ‘hit the stands’ and it includes the Annual Photography Awards. Audubon Magazine has again collaborated with Nature’s Best Photography to offer photographers the chance to submit photos in the professional, amateur, and youth divisions. This year’s judges were Kevin Fisher, Audubon’s design director; Lila Garnett, Audubon’s photo editor; and Steve Freligh, publisher and editor-in-chief of Nature’s Best Photography.
Here are some of the top winners…
