In Photos: A Layer of Crystal-Clear Ice and the Andes Mountain

Shortlisted, age 11-17 category: Sunset over Science by Belinda Bateman, 17, Emmbrook senior school, Wokingham, England.

“I believe this image captures my environment because it shows the new industrial and modern era whilst also portraying mother nature. The sunset represents the beauty of nature and this photo has no filters which shows that nature can be absolutely beautiful. However in the middle of this photo the wind turbines show the manmade and science side of our environment.”
