The annual Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have announced the finalists for The Affinity Photo People’s Choice Award. With over 41 hysterical photos to choose from, we decided to share a few of our favourites with you.
Animals can be quirky, cute and downright funny – especially when they take on human-like expressions or are just photographed at the right time.
The competition is open to both professional and amateur photographers and the aim is to highlight wildlife conservation.
The winner will be announced on 15 November at a formal awards ceremony. Voting is open to all, and you can leave your mark right here.
