Terrestrial Wildlife, Finalist, Yeye In The Mist By Ami Vitale. A 16-year-old bear called Ye Ye – named to celebrate the friendship between China and Japan – lumbered out of the mist. Gingerly, Vitale stuck her camera through the fence as Poon lofted the LEDs. Vitale says the large black-and-white creature posed like a supermodel. She just came up for a moment, Vitale said, like a magician. And just showed up and disappeared, as pandas do. They're very good at disappearing.
