    Darn tough picking a favourite out of those, but, i quite like the Croc reflective, but the solo Elephant grabs me too.

    Wow, they are just amazing. I used to live in SA years ago and this series has really given me so many emotions. Nature and wildlife should be something to be cherished for sure. Some of these photos have moved me to tears and the music, what is the music please?
    The Polar Bear photos are so beautiful.

    There are a lot of wonderful photos in this series. The first one (Polar bear & cub) stood out the most to me. Good luck to all the entries.

    Congratulations to everyone. My vote for best of the bunch goes to the black and white image of the Gemsbok fending the leopard off her calf. Incredible movement and mood.

    Everyone of those photographers should be incredibly proud of their absolute talent and fantastic image!! I'm going to vote for the Mum and baby polar bear.

    So thrilled to see my photo of the leopard in the tree at 2:06 amongst such amazing images! I would love to know how many entries you received this year?

    All absolutely fantastic, can't pick one but these four get equal votes. Polar bear and cub, backlit polar bear, cormorant and flying fish, and the flying bat. Well done to all.

    Top-quality images! All the finalists may be proud of themselves. A difficult task to choose a victor, even difficult to choose a top 3 out of the list! But the African Origins Team has sat down and after watching the video about 25 times has decided that the Puffin is the picture that stands out to us. Amazing Light in the background matching the shading of the Puffin and the crisp head with the wings in motion blur. Well done to whoever got this shot!

    These are next level images, every one of them. Makes me want to work harder on my craft and I have won awards, but these are so achingly beautiful. Good luck in choosing, glad I don't have to judge....

    I love the first polar bear photo, the elephant at 3:30, and the croc at 4:48

    I am glad that you guys have to choose the best from all these great photos as I could not. I got as far as my top 10 favourites.

  • @dellzeph

    fabulous images

  • @pruimj

    Again these are astonishing images. I do not envy the jurors, they have an impossible task to pick a favourite. Are you sure these are AMATEUR images? As each and everyone of them looks like being made by a PRO. (This is meant as a compliment.) If I am forced to pick one image I will decide on the elephants at 2:10 because of the originality of the composition. Despite the fact that the elephant in the foreground is very large the eye is immediately drawn to the elephants in the back. And the combination creates a sense of majestic animals in a vast landscape.

    Many images and all very cool. Tough one to judge for sure. I'm partial to the first image with the polar bear and cub. Thanks for sharing.

    Who is the great tusker, 3:30? Is this Craig?

    • @megafaunaforever
      @megafaunaforever 2 місяці тому

      of course NOT. Craig is almost no longer a photographic subject, so many people photographed him and most of the pics are very similar.

    5 seconds s photo is not enough time. Any chance you print each at 24”x 33” & send them to me to judge?😏 Good luck to those who have entered these fantastic photos!
