Jurors’ Comments:

"These entries are beautiful, well-shot, and dynamic. They show the large diversity between species which Darwin himself found on his voyage to the Galapagos Islands."

"Portraits of the loveable puzzle pieces of evolution."

"These clear photographs capture some of the encompassing aspects of evolution like random mutations, survival of the fittest and fecundity. It's no wonder Darwin was inspired by the creatures of the Galapagos."

"I am struck by the rich color and textures – and especially by the tortoise! Great photos!"

"Shallow depth of field really makes these images striking."
