Stephanie Sinclair, United States. Professional; Daily Life. “The Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey circus is made up of people from 25 different countries, speaking everything from Russian to Arabic to Guarani. A few travel in cars and trailers, but a majority – 270 – live on the trains. Most come from multi-generation circus families, to the extent that collectively, the circus staff represents thousands of years of circus history”.

Professional conceptual category winner. Greetings from Mars, by Julien Mauve, France. Mauve says: “I have always wondered what it would be like to discover a totally different world ... and to photograph it for the first time as if I was Ansel Adams. So I came up with this project, which is about space exploration and discovery. But it’s also about our behavior in front of landscapes and how we create pictures that will share our personal story with the world”. (Photo by Julien Mauve)
White Rhinoceros. Wow, cool.
I saw these before, absolutely stunning stuff! My favourite is the faux-Mars picture of course. :)
Great work as always!
Very cool. I like the white Rhino and the Reindeer Farmers. :)
I would love to have a framed photo of that rhino. I have never seen a rhino albino white before. The photography here is on another level. Way past my "creative" camera phone shots.
I love the white rhino, hiding and blending...cool picture

So another copy and paste post of others work. These posts make me sad. This is not fair use license as it does not cover simply re-selling the works of someone else. I wonder who those you've profited off of would feel if they were advised of your posts?
I'm not reselling the rights to the photos, I’m just sharing work I like, it goes under news reporting part of the fair use license, and should I receive any infringement claim from the copyright holders I will deal with it appropriately.
Some people here start tracking my posts saying its copy/past, plagiarizing and some other ridiculous accusations, I don't claim it's my work, the photos I post made the news and are masters’ work posted with the necessary credits. I really appreciate personal photography work posted here, but this category also needs this kind of posts to learn from.
I started this category with this kind of photography, and people appreciated it. I do it because I like sharing my passion for photography!
