The Natural History Museum in London has revealed its Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award shortlist, and voting is now open.
The 25 shortlisted images showcase diverse wildlife worldwide, ranging from more traditional photos, like beautiful action shots and serene portraits, to startling reflections of how pollution and human activity harm animals.
Despite the highly varied aesthetics and narrative techniques, a common thread throughout each finalist is that they are fantastic photographs.
The 25 images below were selected in addition to the top 100 images for this year’s contest and are separate from the competition’s overall juried winners, which were selected early last month.
