It is with great pleasure that today I am announcing the winners of the official deviantART Photography-Animals, Plants, & Nature "Nature's Natural Contest" that was recently held. I really wish to thank the judges for pulling into the utterly grueling task of having to judge this contest. The entries were honestly just amazing, all of which can be seen by browsing the Contest Gallery itself . I wish to give everyone a huge thanks and a hats off to all the contestants, everyone seriously did a great job! The sheer quality on the entries we received is completely mind boggling. If you all wish to find some new people to watch and add a lot of I highly suggest you browse the contest category!

This truely was a hard contest, and the purpose was to show textures that occur naturally in nature. The judges had a very hard time, answering the question "Ok this is a GREAT shot BUT does it show the textures that occur naturally within nature?" and one that was often very hard to decipher.

I wish to thank for being the judges and donating their time to help choose the best images possible.

So without any delay, the winners and runners up are below.
