So, it's not National Geographic Traveler's Grand Prize winner, but Jonas Peterson's Merit Award winning shot, Queensland, Australia, is spectacular…especially when you know the story behind it…
Jonas Peterson's winner was taken while he shot scenes on a farm in Queensland, Australia. "Molly Nolan, the girl in the photo, became bored," Peterson says, "so I told her to look for tigers. Knowing Australia has no tigers, she reacted angrily. I turned to take photos. When I looked back, I saw her. Looking for tigers." (Canon EOS 5D camera, Canon EF 24-70 mm lens, exposure at 1/6400 second, f/2.8, ISO 200)
