One of the most striking things about New York City is the fall colors and there’s no better place to view this then Central Park. I chose 15 locations in the park and revisited them 2 days a week for six months, recording all camera positions and lens information to create consistency in the images. All shots were taken just after sunrise.

Shikhei Goh’s photograph titled ‘Splashing’ of a dragonfly bracing itself against the rain won the grand prize in the 2011 National Geographic Photography Contest. Over 20,000 entries were submitted from over 130 countries but Shikhei’s image bested all comers. Said Shikei, “This photo was taken when I was taking photos of other insects, as I normally did during macro photo hunting. I wasn’t actually aware of this dragonfly since I was occupied with other objects. When I was about to take a picture of it, it suddenly rained, but the lighting was just superb. I decided to take the shot regardless of the rain. The result caused me to be overjoyed, and I hope it pleases viewers.”

If you go to Skógafoss—a waterfall in the south of Iceland—when the full moon is shining bright during the aurora season, perhaps you would catch this magical scene. And meet an elvish princess who looks like Björk.
This image was captured last October by Steffan Vetter. It shows a moonbow, the full moon’s light scattered by Skógafoss’ water mist, under the Northern Lights.
