Roie Galitz captured this bear catching his prey at Kuril Lake in Russia. The photographer said: 'There is no happier bear than a bear with a fresh salmon in his mouth! The bears at Kuril Lake are in a state of hyperphaghia, meaning they are always hungry. They must gain weight before the winter’s hibernation and catch up to 40 salmon a day to achieve that'

From a cute seal grinning as he rolls on the snow to a rhino roaming in flowers, these are the finalists in the 15th annual Smithsonian.com Photo Contest.

Over 40,000 images have been whittled down to 60 finalists across six different categories.

The stunning images were submitted from photographers in 240 countries and territories.

Five of the categories are the natural world, people, travel, altered images and mobile, which includes pictures taken on a phone or tablet.

The sixth category is the American experience, which includes snaps of events, objects or activities connecting the American people to their history or cultural heritage.

Smithsonian's judges will reward a prize in each category and also hand out a grand prize for the best overall photo. Voting for the Readers’ Choice winner is now open. Here MailOnline Travel presents its pick of 15 of the 60 finalists.

This sweet image was taken by Thomas Chadwick, from Michigan, while he was in Florida. He explained: 'One morning I got into position and lay there for an hour until sunrise when a parent flew in directly to feed the baby. The baby was inches away from me, so I couldn’t get the feeding photo. However, after the baby gobbled down the fish, I captured it running up to the parent and displaying the behavior pictured'

Florent Mamelle, from Malaysia, took this picture for the natural world category. He said: 'On New Year’s Eve in 2016, a sea cliff collapsed near Kalapana on Big Island, Hawaii. A dramatic stream of lava, called a fire hose, started to shoot out of the cliff. Before the sunrise, I captured this dramatic picture, where the lava cascaded into the ocean, creating steam and lava bombs. The lava stream stopped in March 2017'

The red color of the grass comes from my imagination'
