Highlights of Nature Photography 2025

Impressive, touching, artistically surprising and technically perfect: the 86 best "Highlights of Nature Photography" were selected from almost 23,000 image submissions. Photographers from 35 countries competed against each other in this 27th year of the renowned international photography competition.

Norwegian photographer Pål Hermansen was crowned the winner with his picture "Meal", a bear eating a walrus. This extremely rare event was captured with a drone during an expedition in north-west Svalbard.

Together with projekt natur & fotografie, Museum Koenig Bonn invites you to view the outstanding photographic works, which reflect the beauty of nature and at the same time its endangerment in many different facets. The travelling exhibition shows the 86 winning images in the categories "Magnificient Wilderness", "The Beauty of Plants", "Nature as Art", "Artists ond Wings", "The World of Mammals", "Diversity of all other Animals", "Moments in Nature" and "Aerial Views of Nature".
