Itâs a moment of pure beauty: Siberian tigers are highly endangered, but this one, notably, is at peace.For his photograph of this rare, fleeting moment, called âThe Embrace,â Russian photographer Sergey Gorshkov has won the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year, awarded today by Londonâs Natural History Museum.âItâs a scene like no other. (See last yearâs winners here.)Thirteen-year-old Liina Heikkinen of Finland won Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the competitionâs other top distinction, for her photograph of a young fox devouring a goose as white feathers fly amid the frenzy, which she captured on the island of Lehtisaari, in the suburbs of Helsinki.National Geographic photographer Kirsten Luce won the prize for a single photojournalism image, for her photograph of a captive polar bear performing in a Russian traveling circus.
