Finalist – Look Into My Eyes – I took this picture in the Namib Desert close to Swakopmund. It doesn’t seem like much, but on closer inspection you can see the eyes of a Peringuey’s adder, or sidewinder as it’s known locally. These beautiful snakes have the ability to cover themselves with sand up to the point where only their eyes stick out, waiting in this position to ambush unsuspecting prey. – By Werner Reyneke, Namibia Nikon D500, Nikon 105mm f/2.8, ISO 560, f/11, 1/320 sec
