Below are the 5 finalist, including the winner, of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice Award 2021.
I had to quote the name of the competition directly, becauswe my first thought about the winning picture is "there are no animals in that!". I had to read carefully, despite all the headlines, that this was the Wildlife PHOTOGRAPHER or the year, not the Wildlife Photograph of the year.
Anyway, these are gorgeous. But, yes, the winner has no animals in his picture. All of the images and captions are from NY Times article.

I think my favorite is the lowest, the Golden Pheasants. but I do love the imagery and color of birds.
I like the pheasant too but the kitties are awfully cute.
ReplyDeleteI wondered where the actual wildlife was too.
