Other Royal Family members also feature among the shortlisted entries
A photograph capturing the Princess of Wales alongside her three children observing the Red Arrows display from the Buckingham Palace balcony has earned a place among finalists for the UK Picture Editors Guild Awards.
The image, taken during commemorations marking eight decades since Victory in Europe Day, is competing for the prestigious photograph of the year honour.
A judging panel selected the Royal Family moment as one of 21 images now put forward for the public vote.
Members of the public can cast their ballots at pictureeditorsguildawards.co.uk, with voting closing at midday on June 10 and the winner set to be revealed on June 30.
This photograph of Catherine, George, Charlotte and Louis has been nominated for picture of the year

The photograph depicts Catherine, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis tilting to one side as they sought a clearer view of the aerial display, which concluded a military procession on May 5 last year.
For the occasion, the Princess of Wales wore a burgundy Emilia Wickstead coat dress complemented by a Jane Taylor pillbox hat and beige heels.
Her sons appeared in coordinating navy suits with blue ties, whilst Charlotte donned a blue-green coat with a matching dress.
The balcony appearance echoed the historic moment in 1945 when King George VI, the Queen Mother, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret celebrated victory from the same vantage point alongside Winston Churchill.

Other Royal Family members also feature among the shortlisted entries.
An image of King Charles in conversation with 101-year-old World War Two veteran Ruth Barnwell made the cut, captured during a tea party held at Buckingham Palace following the VE Day procession.
The Palace hosted the gathering for war veterans and their families after 1,300 Armed Forces members marched from Whitehall to the royal residence.
Princess Anne secured a nomination for a rather different moment, photographed discovering two farmers asleep whilst touring cattle stalls at the Royal Highland Show at the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston, Edinburgh.

Voting remains open until noon on June 10, with the winner to be announced on June 30.
