Images for Conservation

Here are some beautiful images by Al Perry, taken for the Images for Conservation Fund (ICF) Photo Contest in July of 2008.









The contest was formed to bring private landowners together with professional photographers in a way that promotes the natural diversity on the property with the ultimate goal of conservation through photography.

Each photographer draws a ranch from a hat and photographs nature for 30 nonstop days on his/her assigned ranch. Five categories are photographed including: birds, mammals, insects, reptiles and scenics. Strict rules apply towards the ethical treatment of animals. Furthermore, photo manipulation is not allowed. That means minimal cropping and no cloning except for sensor dust.
