Great photos that won the Environmental Photographer of the Year

The Environmental Photographer of the Year contest rewards those who use their work to document the state of the planet. This year, the jury received works from 89 countries. In the end, five photographers were selected as winners in different categories, thanks to their powerful shots and high-end performance.

The main prize was received by Iranian photographer Said Mohammadzadeh for an incredible picture of an abandoned ship, mired in the salt of the evaporating lake Urmia.
