For more than 50 years, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition has championed honest and ethical wildlife photography, while pushing the boundaries of artistic freedom, technical skill and narrative excellence. These exceptional images represent the work of professional and amateur photographers who have been recognized in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2015 competition. The collection displays the different styles and techniques involved in photographing the wonders of the natural world and tells the often memorable stories behind the pictures. The photographs were chosen by an international jury for their artistic merit and originality, mindful of the high ethical standards that the competition champions. The final 100, representing 22 nationalities, were selected from more than 42,000 entries from 96 countries. They include images of unforgettable behaviour, wild and dramatic landscapes and thought-provoking reportage. This memorable book serves as a reminder of the truly glorious nature of life on Earth.
