THE NOMINATIONS OF THE IV PHOTO CONTEST «THE MIST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY»
In pursuit of unique cadres, many project participants organized special expeditions, which, in their own words, became for them a real adventure and the most significant history of the year.
For example, pictures for the nomination «Caves of Russia» were extracted in the truest sense of the word from under the ground.

However, as the experience of our photographers shows, it is possible to make a successful shot at home. So, the author of this beautiful and gentle picture was going to capture the flight of cherry blossoms in his native Grozny, lay under a tree and sent the lens up. And suddenly in the viewfinder he saw an owl sitting on a branch and looking directly into the camera.
