Wrestling Komodo dragons, ethereal egrets and thirsty squirrels are among the creatures captured on camera by this year’s finalists of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2015, ran by the National History Museum in London.
Judged by a panel of industry-recognised professionals, the images are selected for their creativity, artistry and technical complexity. 10 of the images captured by finalists can be seen below and an exhibition, which opens on 16 October 2015 at the National History Museum, will also be showcasing the 100 shortlisted entries as well as the winning images. There will also be an international tour spanning 6 continents.
To book tickets for the exhibition, visit the National History Museum website. Adult tickets are priced at £12.60 while children and concessions tickets are available for £6.30.
Last year, American photographer Michael ‘Nick’ Nichols took the overall title with his black-and-white image of lions resting with their cubs in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park.

Snow Hare... No.2
All the others... just... wow!
But, the future of photography looks to be in good hands...
the first pic was taken by someone aged ten or less!!
You see youngsters of all ages with "hand-me-down" digitals...
the top picture shows that some of them know how to use the things!
The only problemo I can see with that...
is when Dad or Mum go to get out their K3-II with the 100 macro lens on...
only to find it with the dust cap on the body...
sprog has borrowed it to use on their *istD...
vunderbar!!
"Give a thousand photographers...
the same camera, lens and scene...
and you'll always get a thousand different takes!!"
