So which image do you think will win?

[@RVNmedic]

Hands down, the polar bear among waste barrels. Says so much in so many ways.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Yes it does!

[@pruimj]

My personal favourite is the polar bear between the oil drums. This image shows the ordeal of these magnificent animals due to human interference with their natural habitat: climate change due to the burning of fossil fuels. This image could go straight into a commercial by an environmental organisation. Well seen!

[@PangolinWildlife]

It certainly needs to be seen by a large audience.

[@bruceleonard3096]

There are beautiful and depressing at the same time.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Certainly thought provoking.

[@frankhaugwitz8178]

Some images like the polar bear amongst these oil drums, presumably searching for food, are a reflection of a brutal, man-made, reality.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Nice choice.

[@georgemason2472]

Really liked the deer in the cemetery and the weasels in the pipes!

[@PangolinWildlife]

First nod the weasels!

[@johnm.hudson7867]

The narratives we impose on some of these photos are interesting. The photos qua photos are enjoyable, and I'm doing my best to appreciate them without constructing in-your-face stories.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Good luck with that. This round makes constructing stories nigh on impossible to ignore.. ;-)

[@dronepilotcontractors4094]

Wow! They are all so awesome and you really can see how many species have adapted!

[@PangolinWildlife]

I think so too!

[@mattpretorius2933]

My favourites are the kite in front of the mosque/palace, and the monkey in front of the monkey face painting.

[@floriank]

Thank you! That’s the Taj Mahal in the background 🙂

[@PangolinWildlife]

Nice choices.

[@mattpretorius2933]

@floriank, it being the Taj Mahal makes the photo even better!

[@OMCochrane]

Some really great images. And a first for me as one of mine has been shortlisted. Very, very happy....It will not win as there are some stunning images, with a great story behind them which are better. But who knows !!

[@skipsaunders5974]

lone fox/jackal in front of cement building (3) .... deer in cemetery (2) ... polar bear (1)

[@hawgbreath]

[@PangolinWildlife]

Bird fan perhaps? ;-)

[@richardfink7666]

Polar bear!!!

[@PangolinWildlife]

Emotive shot!

[@zumulko]

@1:59 The monkey in front of a monkey graffiti, because I'm a big fan of self-referencing. @3:16 The bird next to railway track. I love the melancholy that emanates from this photograph.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Both excellent choices.
