The Winning Photos From The 2021 Wildlife Photographer Of The Year Are Here, And They Are Stunning!

Wildlife Photographer of the Year is an internationally renowned competition that recognizes, rewards, and celebrates talented photographers from all over the world and their work. It is organized by the Natural History Museum in London.
The winning images in this year's competition have been announced, and they are as amazing as always. The 57th edition of the contest saw a record-breaking number of entries, with 50,000 entries from 95 countries.
The title of Wildlife Photographer of the Year went to Laurent Ballesta, a French underwater photographer and biologist. He won this award thanks to his photo of camouflage groupers exiting their milky cloud of eggs and sperm in Fakarava, French Polynesia.
Every year, for five years, Laurent and his team returned to the Fakarava lagoon, diving day and night so as not to miss the annual spawning that takes place around the full moon in July. In total, the photographer had spent around 3,000 hours trying to capture this rare moment.
