The winner (pictured above): "Canada’s Shane Gross has won the annual Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition with his backlit image of tadpoles underwater. Gross beat stiff competition from a record-breaking 59,228 entries to take the award. Gross took the photo while swimming in Cedar Lake on Vancouver Island, British Columbia." You can view more about him capturing the picture

“The jury was captivated by the mix of light, energy, and connectivity between the environment and the tadpoles,” explained Kathy Moran, chair of the jury for Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
The Young Wildlife Photographer Award went to Alexis Tinker-Tsavalas for his up-close image ‘Life Under Dead Wood’ depicts the fruiting bodies of slime mould and a tiny springtail. You can view

Here was my favorite that inspired me to make this post, called 'A Rock and Hard Place'! His image shows a stoat clambering between rocks, with its white fur firmed by the black crevice. That stoat looks pretty clever.
