iPhone Photography Awards – the most popular mobile photography contest have announced the winners of the 2016 competition. A Chinese photographer named Siyuan Niu won the the grand prize with his image named “The Man and the Eagle”.

“The brave and wise Khalkhas live along the mountains in the south of Xinjiang and are companions with the eagles. They regard eagles as their children and train them for many years to hunt. This 70 year old man is rigid and solemn in front of family and friends, but when he is with his beloved eagle, the corner of his mouth would curve up. When the eagles reach mating age, although he is very reluctant, the man releases the eagles back into nature so that they can thrive. A mild heart and exquisite love are covered by his weather-beaten face. He is a tough man with a tender heart.”

This contest covers many categories and contestants are from 139 countries.
