Titbit: National Geographic Photo Contest

National Geographic Magazine are running their annual photography contest and some of the submissions are pretty awesome.

Following are a few examples. Ctrl+Click on any picture to go to the site.

Did you pick up the lion about to pounce on the giraffe in the first picture? I looked at this picture three times before I noticed the lion.

The National Geographic rules do not allow any photo editing of the pictures other than cropping and sharpening (err, unsharpening) so these pictures are ‘real’.
