[@mikegoodwin9896]

So many incredible images - some of them were overflowing with emotion and power. Really, really stunning.

[@dimitristsagdis7340]

The jackal jumping for the bird is exceptional, and the flying fish also stands out in my books :-)

[@PangolinWildlife]

Both fantastic and well timed shots!

[@mikibouji]

Loved the gunnets, elephant lines, baboon love, frog, artwork of hyenas at meal.❤

[@farhanaslam1489]

Absolutely fabulous collection. Lion grappling the giraffe, jackal flying to catch the bird. The ape holding the flower, 2 Lion cubs playing .

[@PangolinWildlife]

But if you had to chose 1?

[@PangolinWildlife]

Congratulations.....well done indeed!

[@user-yn7eg9ct3j]

Such variety! 👏 Well done to all of the finalists - a tough one to judge!

[@lauramacfarlane4281]

The FLYING FISH is mesmerising and I don't think I've ever seen a photo like it

[@bcr8tve]

The rhinos, silhouette of deer with red background, elephants in a line..the monkey with the stick in fruit, flying fish, catepillar. Decision based on what i would hang on wall. All absolutely stunning, wow

[@thesoulsofthekruger]

Wow, I'm in tears 😮 what an honor to have one of my photos as a finalist in your Competition 😱 Thank you so so much !! Luzaan Wildlife Photography

[@PangolinWildlife]

Congratulations

[@mariaceciliarey72]

Stunning images !!! Congratulations to their authors! 👏👏👏 Difficult decision indeed!

[@PangolinWildlife]

Incredibly difficult!

[@maryjanesesto5032]

Wow! Each category just gets better and better! Congrats to all the finalists! Another fabulous collection of images!😻

[@PangolinWildlife]

Stunning aren't they?

[@janishurley9261]

Thank you so much for including my image of two American Bison clashing heads! Honored to be included with such spectacular images!

[@TheWildlifeGallery388]

The image is spectacular

[@PangolinWildlife]

Well done....such a tough round!

[@jimmerrithew453]

The action picture of the coyote leaping to grab the bird is amazing. The spirit bear carrying the salmon is beautiful. The baby elephant standing in the legs of the adults is sweet. These are my picks in order of preference.

[@jimmerrithew453]

The photo of the Whispering apes is also a very strong contender.

[@jamesgolando8862]

WOW! Everyone is a winner. My favorite are the two Puffins

[@davetaube]

I am beyond honored that you chose my photo of the King Penguin bowing as one of your finalists. There are SO many great shots! How many photos were submitted in this category?

[@PangolinWildlife]

Great shot. Well done!

[@jimmckenzie5453]

Such talented and lucky photographers. Their dedication to capturing the perfect moment is to be commended. You have a difficult decision to make. I have a fondness for penguins.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Dont we all????

[@blisteringbooks2428]

By far the best images to date, stunning.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Thats saying something!

[@orcaspest]

Wonderful photography!!

[@PangolinWildlife]

Absolutely!

[@thepoochiepal]

Top 3 for me: 8 lions drinking, silhouette of wild dogs & large elephant in mud… but they were all great!

[@TheWildlifeGallery388]

I don't envy having to judge those - for me the "whispering" Baboon's - then the Cheetah Cubs - followed by the backlit baby Elephant underneath Moms legs. fantastic images all around

[@PangolinWildlife]

Great choices all!

[@user-sx2mk7bx1d]

The photos at 1:46 and 2:13 of the wolf running towards the camera, and the ? coyote leaping at the bird with it’s mouth open are my faves, but definitely lots of amazing photos to choose from.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Great choices...I think that was a Jackal though as opposed to a Coyote.

[@user-sx2mk7bx1d]

@@PangolinWildlife Ah, thank you, wasn’t sure, we don’t have any Jackals around these parts

[@jimmerrithew453]

I also thought it was a coyote, because we don't have jackals in Alberta, Canada

[@stevenelson5160]

All are stunning! But I keep coming back to the coyote and bird at 2:13 as my favorite.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Great shot but that a Black Backed Jackal. Looks very similar...just thats an African version!

[@karencoles2156]

The baby elephant between the legs of the adults is the winner for me - the lighting is beautiful

[@PangolinWildlife]

Stunning. Great choice.

[@p.ashukkur4613]

GREAT COLLECTIONS

[@PangolinWildlife]

Yes indeed!

[@leniehulse1621]

So difficult to chose but the one that stood out for me was the black panther with the rim light.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Gorgeous shot!

[@alokechowdhury4913]

Flying fish, two birds fighting on air, polor bear hugs,

[@Carla-ut7zp]

The flying fish, or the spirit bear.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Love the spirit bear. Emotive!

[@rerolley]

So man good ones, hard to pick a favorite. Perhaps the flying fish or the fennec pup and mom.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Nice choices!

[@Britton0932]

Cannot wait for my safari next year

[@PangolinWildlife]

Looking forward to seeing you!

[@wendy-annmaher2917]

Rhino with baby.

[@markstevens6682]

Can I rent a 600mm f4 Nikkor lens from Pangolin if I’m going on your Safari??

[@PangolinWildlife]

Im afraid not.

[@I_am_gho]

❤❤❤

[@user-gm8id1lo6b]

Bird-hunting jackal

[@dylanlizette]

Again...the level is just so good and super hard to pick a winner. For me I like the pair of gannets but could easily be 10 other options

[@PangolinWildlife]

Only 10 ;-)?

[@dylanlizette]

@PangolinWildlife 10 that really stand out but all worthy of being considered. I need to take a lot more photos to get onto the considered list so some inspiration here.

[@Carla-ut7zp]

The flying fish, or the spirit bear...but tough competition.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Yes indeed.

[@jillpoleskie4032]

Wolf jumping head on

[@oldchick]

All winners!
