womankind Photographers’ Award XIV

Womankind received an unprecedented number of entries to Photographers’ Award XIV, on animals, which demonstrates how much we care about the many ‘non-humans’ who share this planet with us. Photographers were asked to focus on animals in the wild, as well as domesticated animals, and many entries were simply breathtaking.

WINNER

The winning photograph is by Daphne Wu. The photograph was taken at the competition in Mongolia. Here “a young eagle huntress showcases her eagle and looks on tentatively while surrounded by several of her fellow male competitors,” notes Wu. “To become an eagle hunter,” continues Wu, “a successful hunter must capture a female golden eagle and build a symbiotic relationship of trust and communication that takes years to master.”
