So which image do you think will take top honours in this round?

[@theolandman7612]

The flamingos flying away over the lake. My choice. Stunning image

[@eikohariu8460]

Lovely images- congratulations to everyone and Pangolin teams!!! Thank you for inspiration!!!!

[@margedwards9285]

Both of the aerial images are stunning. Either of these for me!! Or the Polar bear on the edge of a crevasse - also magical

[@michaeldesselle7589]

Wow, so many…! My favorite is the pano of the 5 oryxes dappled by sunlight with rain coming down

[@MarcMol]

I'm up against some fabulous images in this landscape section, the Guanaco against the full moon Andean sky is the pick for me!

[@MarcMol]

Very pleased to see I was one of the 5 Highly Commended, and up against some other brilliant finalists, congrats to the Winner, Helena Conradie.

I really love the moose going into the river and the elephant silhouetted against the intense orange sunset.

[@PangolinWildlife]

The Moose is a stunning shot.

[@rvsmit9896]

The lone Rhino caught my eye. Then the one with the seal and penguins on the beach with the mountain in the background is a masterfully composed shot! Lastly the one with the 2 penguins on then left side the photo is also a classic shot. It would be interesting to see which camera and lens combinations were used in all the winning photos

[@keithwr1970]

The moose in Grand Tetons was initially my first choice, until I looked a bit closer at the King Penguin picture at the 4:25 mark. This appears to be South Georgia Island, probably Salisbury Plain. The depth of this shot, with the pair of penguins in the left foreground, mountain peaks in the distance, and vast expanse in between containing multiple thousand penguins truly captures the epic feeling of being in this place.

[@debbielucas5178]

It's tough to choose. The images that stood out to me are the elephant at sunset, the arial view of flamingos (first one at 3:00), the lone penguin looking like it's taking off from the glacier, and the oryx in the desert.

[@ktl7378]

I love the one with the penguins 🐧

[@manoftheserengeti3052]

The rhino with what I believe is Mt. Kenya in the background. Also, the elephants with the canyon walls are really making me want to go to Gonarezhou. Really, anywhere in Zimbabwe.

[@OMCochrane]

Wow - so happy to get one in this section. The images mine is up against are outstanding and no way I will win. But to be included is a huge reflection on the photo guides and the Chobe River. Good luck to all.

[@jarihuikari8921]

The tenth image is my favorite.

[@AC-xh9wr]

I think they are all wonderful but if I had to choose I’d say (1) the three birds flying in the top right of the picture with the burnt orange backdrop, (2) the bird on its own in the snow/ice or (3) the polar bear on its own in snow/ice.

[@janewillis2421]

All beautiful photos but there are a couple that stand out as also being " thought provoking" with telling a story

[@elizabethmarcelletti718]

You have a very tough job picking out a winner . . . so many amazing photos!!!

[@PangolinWildlife]

Yes they do...hard round to judge!

[@larrygerber5058]

The moose is fantastic.

[@daxatrivedi3437]

Great images.

[@samanthapillay2028]

They are all simply ethereal. The one that captures all elements of life and nature is the ELEPHANTS WALKING on soil bisecting water and mountains , moving harmoniously in peace together with bird life. A landscape that captures the elements of Mother Nature and life’s journey. A landscape with soul. ❤

[@dylanlizette]

Wow...again. wow. Penguins with mountain reflection

[@PangolinWildlife]

Nice choice!

[@KrisMeierPhotography]

Ohhh what a wonderful surprise to see my images among the finalists. Thank you so much

[@JohanFrost-gd9vh]

1) Ist photo of flamingos flying over an estuary. 2) Leopard leaping to another branch in the tree landscape.

[@martafiscus4297]

They are all stunning and move me deeply.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Great to hear. Thank you for sharing!

[@paulcooper8818]

There are 5-7 outstanding photos and several close runner ups that I would not be able to choose between.

[@PangolinWildlife]

The judges are having a tough time!

[@Maralee808]

Incredible photography.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Yes indeed!

[@suejewell8656]

All beautiful but managed to get to my TOP TEN😊

[@PangolinWildlife]

Well done!

[@rerolley]

I recognize the tree with the courting lions in the Maisa Mara. She was not quite ready for him.

[@sandicok2607]

So excited to see my picture here in the finalists! Thanks. So many great pictures!

[@lisaschwerdt6447]
