Just wow!! There are some very talented photographers out there. Congratulations to you all.

They are all winners! My favorite, after watching several times, would be the Chameleon on the flower (#13).

The frog that is the third from the end. Something about the simplicity is absolutely breathtaking for me.

Yes they are!

All of the photos are just simply breathtaking! I especially liked the frog in 3:45 with amazing color of green with contrast of black background, I can feel the nature and the most classic color of frog that impressed me the most!

Thats a popular pick I think…lets see on Sunday

Cheers to all the finalists~and big thanks to Pangolin for sponsoring this contest! I’ve watched this first video 3 times…such a great learning “tool” for aspiring photogs-like ME-to closely look at the images and see what sets them apart. And kudos to all the judges for taking what must have been an immense amount of time to pick the winners. My vote goes to chameleon with pink flower…

Amazing.. the two White butterflies on purple flower 2:35 Not easy to capture the movement and sharp butterfly in one setting

The photos are absolutely amazing, I thought it was a competition for amateurs, but these were definitely professionals.

All spectacular. For me- it’s the snail. The use of light and color is amazing. The image imparts a mysterious dream like quality. Kudos!!!

A real treat to see so many quality images in so short of time.

WOW! Kudos to all who have entered. Beautiful work. Good luck. I would need prints on the wall to narrow it down & probably would take at least a few days of re-looking. Beauties. - Rewatched once. Wrote the times down & came up with 8 but wrote a star next to 2 of them. Guessing it is a Fly on Yellow Flower at4:32 &, the Frog photo at 5:00. Good luck to all.

Wow, what an absolutely incredible selection of images, I do not envy you judges at all!! For me personally, I love the Tiny Chameleon at 2:40 / the Bug drinking from the dew drop at 3:40 / the tiny Seahorse at 4:04 That said I believe any one of these could win they are all amazing! Well done to all the finalists.

Fantastic work, something to aspire to. For me, it is between the little bee approaching the stunning flower or the chameleon on the Protea flower....but I wouldn't want to be in the judges' shoes for this!

We sometimes forget about the small stuff; that's what makes this challenge so unique.

All winners...stand outs for me are: gold color snail, blue frog in water & gray toad close up in tree. Thank you for sharing these beautiful images. I'm 80 yrs. old & still enjoying photography... since 1986. Lots of Nikon cameras. 😁

The second photo (at 1:23) is very intriguing but I can't quite make out what is going on. I tried to access the original 2023 entries gallery to look at the description, but it seems that is no longer available online. So what is happening here?

The amazing moment depicts a vine snake hunting a Malabar gliding frog. The frog, entangled with the snake, hangs from a tree branch above a pond. James Godber skillfully photographs the frog, seemingly focused on a fly while battling for survival against the vine snake.
