Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice competition is upon us again.
The 25 images are currently on display in London's Natural History Museum until voting ends on 2 February, according to a press release from the museum. The winner will have their photograph showcased at the exhibition until 5 June, says the museum.
"The People's Choice Award offers striking observations of nature and our relationship with it, sparking our curiosity and strengthening our connection with the natural world," said Natalie Cooper, a researcher at the Natural History Museum and member of the judging panel. "It's an incredible challenge to pick just one of these images, so we're looking forward to discovering which wild moment emerges as the public's favourite."
More than 50,000 entries were received from 95 countries for this year's competition.
