Finalists are the authors and their works that the jury considered among the contenders for prize places. The status of a finalist is a recognition of the high level of photography, its artistic value, technical execution, and overall impact of the shot. Even if a work did not make it into the top three winners, its presence among the finalists confirms its quality and the impression it made on the jury.

An interesting project to shoot wild beluga whales in places of their socialization. Particularly worth noting is the complex shooting technique used to avoid disturbing animals.
