Assignment Open From
Nov 14 - Jan 18, 2015
Once, WCS Senior Conservationist Dr. George Schaller was walking in the hills of northern Pakistan when he spotted a snow leopard some 150 feet away. The two locked eyes and took each other in. “Though snow soon capped her head and shoulders,” he writes of the elusive animal in his book, Stones of Silence, “she remained, silent and still, seemingly impervious to the elements. Wisps of clouds swirled around, transforming her into a ghost creature, part myth and part reality.”
If your home gets cold and snowy like the snow leopard’s range, brave the frigid air and send us a great shot of winter wildlife. If not, what does winter wildlife look like by you? Our editorial team will choose the best submissions based on appeal, composition, originality, and technical quality. A group of chosen shots for will be posted on the blog and one will even be featured.
Please choose your photos wisely. We can only consider a maximum of six submissions per contributor. Get us your favorite.
