All the images were amazing. The 2 that struck me the most are the Penguin in a snow storm and the bird holding the frog in its beak.

Absolutely fabulous ! Each image deserves to be a winner. Very inspirational.
The vulture with the mountains behind is a fabulous picture. Very well composed. A real sense of space and motion.

Nice choice.
As someone who has been a professional photographer for 50 years, and has settled back into wildlife photography in semi retirement, I could probably discard a third, but the quality is so high you would need to pay me to try and cut back to the top ten. I would need to consider technical competence, difficulty of subject etc, absolutely fantastic images
The photo of the pelican touching down on the water with a nice reflection is my choice.

Very good shot!
Lots of quality entries! My favorite would probably change each day. Today it's the Green Heron. So hard to find them on a suitable perch and then to have the perfect timing like that made that a lifetime shot to me.
Congrates to all.
Excited that my shot made it amongst so many epic images 😊 congrats to all the finalists 🎉

Wow....no idea how the judges will manage to choose just one winner! At least 10 could easily be winners: the shoebill, the pair of owls, the pair of bee-eaters, a few penguin shots, the kingfisher shots! All just so good....I have got lots of photos to take to get closer to this level. Well done to all finalists.

Wow! Too many beautiful photos for me to choose one. Loved the crane taking flight from the water. Was that in Kyushu, Japan? Well done everyone!
For me, the photo of the Jacana at 3.18 is the best: original and well composed.

Hello this is a bit off topic: Is there a camera/lens combination that can quickly and reliably focus on a small bird that flies towards the camera from 8 or 10 meters?
