Darn tough picking a favourite out of those, but, i quite like the Croc reflective, but the solo Elephant grabs me too.
So many amazing pictures! Im so jealous of them! i love the first on with the Polar Bear mama and cub, and the one with mama lion carrying her cub

Both great shots....but if you had to chose one?
Wow, they are just amazing. I used to live in SA years ago and this series has really given me so many emotions. Nature and wildlife should be something to be cherished for sure. Some of these photos have moved me to tears and the music, what is the music please? The Polar Bear photos are so beautiful.
There are a lot of wonderful photos in this series. The first one (Polar bear & cub) stood out the most to me. Good luck to all the entries.
Woaw , so beautiful pictures ! Nice choice ! 👍

Many thanks!
Top-quality images! All the finalists may be proud of themselves. A difficult task to choose a victor, even difficult to choose a top 3 out of the list! But the African Origins Team has sat down and after watching the video about 25 times has decided that the Puffin is the picture that stands out to us. Amazing Light in the background matching the shading of the Puffin and the crisp head with the wings in motion blur. Well done to whoever got this shot!

Everyone of those photographers should be incredibly proud of their absolute talent and fantastic image!! I'm going to vote for the Mum and baby polar bear.

Its a very endearing shot!
These are next level images, every one of them. Makes me want to work harder on my craft and I have won awards, but these are so achingly beautiful. Good luck in choosing, glad I don't have to judge....

Its a very difficult round to judge for sure!
Congratulations to everyone. My vote for best of the bunch goes to the black and white image of the Gemsbok fending the leopard off her calf. Incredible movement and mood.

All absolutely fantastic, can't pick one but these four get equal votes. Polar bear and cub, backlit polar bear, cormorant and flying fish, and the flying bat. Well done to all.

Thanks for sharing!
Again these are astonishing images. I do not envy the jurors, they have an impossible task to pick a favourite. Are you sure these are AMATEUR images? As each and everyone of them looks like being made by a PRO. (This is meant as a compliment.) If I am forced to pick one image I will decide on the elephants at 2:10 because of the originality of the composition. Despite the fact that the elephant in the foreground is very large the eye is immediately drawn to the elephants in the back. And the combination creates a sense of majestic animals in a vast landscape.

Many images and all very cool. Tough one to judge for sure. I'm partial to the first image with the polar bear and cub. Thanks for sharing.
