一年一度的《史密森尼(Smithsonian)》杂志摄影大赛最近选出了入围决赛的作品。本届大赛共有来自132个国家的50000幅照片同台角逐，最后官方选出了最好的60张照片。大赛从自然世界、旅行、人、美洲、修改后照片和今年新加入的手机拍摄类六大类照片中各选10张照片。

Smithsonian Magazine recently announced the finalists for its 11th Annual Photo Contest. 50,000 photographs submitted by photographers from 132 different countries were whittled down to the top 60. Ten photographs were selected from each of the six categories: the Natural World, Travel, People, Americana, Altered Images, and the new category Mobile.

The finalists cover a remarkable variety of photography, but they all hold one thing in common: capturing the beauty and spirit of all walks of life that exist in nature, including animals, plant life, and people from across the globe. Whether the photos depict lush and sunlit rice terraces, a group of children joyously playing soccer, or a sea turtle gliding smoothly beneath the surface of the ocean, they all inspire a similar desire to venture forth into the world to see and experience as much as possible.

In addition to the juried votes, the contest is open for a Readers' Choice vote. Be sure to check out all of the other spectacular finalists and vote for your favorite images here, from now until May 6.

决赛照片的题材种类非常丰富，但都有一点共同点：抓拍下了存在于自然中每一面的美感和气质，这里面有的是动物有的是植物也有来自全球各地的人们。比赛现在进入读者选择投票环节，网友们可以在5月6日前为自己最喜欢的作品投出一票。
