I almost forgot how awesome a magazine National Geographic was until I saw these entries for the 2010 National Geographic Photography Competition. The magazine’s annual photography competition features pictures from photographers around the world falling into the categories of people, places and nature.
The nature photographs are by far my favorite in the whole competition. You really get an idea of how big and strange the world is when you see a gorilla grabbing food with its feet or two baboons fighting. Check out the National Geographic Photography Competition in the featured gallery.
