Winners Of The 2012 National Geographic Photography Contest
The Explosion
Grand Prize: The Explosion - Busaba is an Indochinese Tigress whose home is at Khao Kheow Open Zoo, Thailand. Ashley Vincent had taken many portraits of Busaba previously and it was becoming more and more difficult to come up with an image that appeared any different from the others. The opportunity finally presented itself as Busaba was enjoying her private pool and shaking herself dry. (Ashley Vincent/2012 National Geographic Photo Contest)
