As the end of the year grows closer, we often look forward to a number of lists that deal with the top stories, pictures or posts over the past year. That is also the case this year, when National Geographic published the top 20 photographs of 2015.
These photographs were not chosen by professionals or by National Geographic, they were chosen by people like you and me. By letting our voices be heard, we can make a difference, even when it comes to the best photographs of the year!
National Geographic had something to say about these pictures:
“Each day, we bring you one photo from around National Geographic that fits our criteria for Photo of the Day-sometimes classic, sometimes quirky, always an image with a story to tell. For this year’s roundup, we looked at shares, likes, and comments from the social sphere to see which ones resonated most with you.”
