The galleries are great, I REALLY liked the image of the Fireflies in the Termite mound, what a great image and definitely my overall favourite. The next was the Tent on the mountain shot with a bit of astro, another outstanding image, here's a couple of links to these specific shots.

First up is the Firefly shot http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/photos/5782390/?source=1gallery

And this is my other favourite, the sense of scale with that little tent is just fantastic!! http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/photos/5758939/?source=1gallery

I still don't understand how this shot was made with those tube-like light trails and round spotlights :-\

It was a longer exposure and the zoom was moved during that exposure.

Beautiful travel photos, and they let you download wallpapers.
I wish I could see the EXIF data, equipment used for some of these shots, as some people seem to be carrying a lot of gear than me on their travels.

if you click on the author's profile, you can see their photos individually and some EXIF DATA.
For instance, the first prize winner was taken with a sony rx 100:
