Wildlife Photographer of the Year is the longest-running photography competition in the world. Tim Littlewood, executive director of science at the Natural History Museum, said of the prize: "The Lumix People’s Choice images capture the essence of the competition; they all ignite a reaction about the natural world and make you see it differently.

"Showcasing breath-taking beauty, compassion and cruelty, it is impossible not to be moved by them," he added.
