Nature Talks has announced the winners of the Nature Photographer of the Year 2023 competition! The top honor goes to Jacquie Matechuk from Canada for her captivating photograph "He Looks to the Heavens", capturing a bear on a tree. Marco Gaiotti, the head of the jury, talks about the winning image: "Spanish moss is always a beautiful, very photogenic subject, and often alone they are able to offer visually interesting compositions, both from the point of view of color and texture. The silhouette of an Andean bear crossing the Spanish moss hanging from an ancient tree is something that goes beyond the most vivid dreams of a nature photographer."
