People's Choice Top-Voted Photos

People's Choice finalists from the first 3 weeks of the 2012 National Wildlife Photo Contest

We love looking at photos of wildlife and nature (honestly, who doesn't?), and we're thrilled that so many 2012 National Wildlife Photo Contest entrants have also put their photos into the running for the People's Choice Award — where you get to be the judge.

Every seven days of the contest, the four top-voted photos move onto the People's Choice final round. We hope you enjoy this gallery of the finalists from the first three weeks!
