The grand prize was awarded to French photographer Florian Ledoux who received £1000 for his image Above the Crabeater Seals. The photo was captured with a drone that Ledoux flew over ice floats in Antarctica. The group of seals on top of the ice demonstrates how important these floats are for them to rest and give birth.

大奖授予了法国摄影师弗洛里安·勒杜，他拍摄的这张以食蟹海豹为主题的照片获得了1000英镑的奖金。这张照片是由一架Ledoux无人机在南极洲浮冰上空拍摄的。冰面上的海豹群证明了这些浮舟对它们休息和生产是多么重要。

“I am so excited to be chosen as the overall winner, I was never expecting this,” said Ledoux in a statement. “For me, it is very important to show the state of the Arctic and Antarctic regions, and to have an image from there win this award is important exposure.

勒杜在一份声明中说:“能获得总冠军我太激动了，我从没想过会是这样。”“对我来说，展示北极和南极地区的现状非常重要，从那里获得这个奖项的图像是很重要的曝光。

“It is important that anyone inspired by this style of drone image understands the importance of wildlife and being ethical in your approach. Ensure that your drone does not spook animals or disturb them, and always conduct yourself within accordance of local regulations.”

“重要的是，任何受这种无人机图像启发的人都应该理解野生动物的重要性，并在你的方法中体现伦理道德。确保你的无人机不会吓到动物或打扰它们，并始终遵守当地的规定。”

Wildlife cameraman and organizer of the competition Will Nicholls said, “Florian’s image provides a unique angle that is not often seen in wildlife photography. The judges had a tough choice to make, but the detail and strong composition of the seals surrounded by the broken ice made it stand out from the crowd.”

野生动物摄影师和比赛组织者威尔·尼科尔斯说:“弗洛里安的照片提供了一个在野生动物摄影中不常见的独特视角。评委们做出了艰难的选择，但这些被碎冰包围的海豹的细节和强有力的组成使它从人群中脱颖而出。”

First prize for the Landscape category went to Marek Biegalski, who also employed the use of a drone to capture her image of a flock of sheep cooling down in the shadow cast by a tree.

景观类的第一名是马雷克·比加尔斯基(Marek Biegalski)，她还利用无人机拍摄了一幅羊群在树荫下降温的照片。

The Macro category was awarded to Chinese photographer Minghui Yuan who captured a striking two-tone shot of a damselfly resting on grass to create a simplistic yet artistic composition.

宏观摄影奖授予中国摄影家袁明辉，他拍下了一只蜻蜓在草地上休息的惊人的双色照片，创造了一个简单而艺术的构图。

“I was wearing a piece of waterproof overalls in the stream of Dabie Mountain, waiting to observe this Matrona basilaris (damselfly),” Yuan said. “Matrona basilaris is the king of the stream here. There is a male Matrona basilaris every 3 meters. They were waiting for the female to fly over its territory; the male chased away a male opponent and then stopped at the tip of the grass. Against the background of the sky, I discovered the connection between the lines of the grass and the subject. Nature itself is a simple painting.”

袁说:“我穿着一件防水的工作服在大别山的小溪里，等着观察这只蜻蜓。”“Matrona basilaris是这里的河流之王。每3米就有一只雄性巴西龙。他们在等着雌天鹅飞过它的领地;这只雄性赶走了一只雄性对手，然后停在了草地的顶端。在天空的背景下，我发现了草的线条和主体之间的联系。自然本身就是一幅简单的画。”

The Youth category was won by 15-year-old Saptarshi Gayen from India with his image of a predatory drongo bird hunting for insects as fires lit by farmers to clear the land send them fleeing into the sky.

来自印度的15岁少年萨帕塔什·加延赢得了青年组的冠军，他的作品描绘了一只猛禽捕食昆虫，农民为清理土地而点燃的火堆将它们抛向天空。

“When the fire spreads across the land, small insects start coming out," said Gayen. "Then the brave Black Drongo starts capitalizing on such a moment by eating them and flying above the live fire. The birds usually sit on a branch fearlessly and watch the movements of the insects as the fire spreads into a new area, then it flies close to the fire for the catch. This is a full frame image, and the calmness of the Drongo reminds me of the Roman Emperor Nero.”

“当大火蔓延到整个地区时，小昆虫开始出现，”加延说。然后勇敢的黑飞龙开始利用这一时刻，吃掉它们，在实火上飞行。当火势蔓延到一个新的区域时，这些鸟通常会毫无畏惧地坐在树枝上，观察昆虫的活动，然后飞到离火很近的地方去抓猎物。这是一张全画框的照片，龙鼓的宁静让我想起了罗马皇帝尼禄。”

Wildlife photography fans voted in the thousands for the People’s Choice Award, which was given to Robert Ferguson for his photo I’m Not Going Easy. The exquisitely timed shot shows the perilous final moments of a fish being eaten by a pelican.

野生动物摄影爱好者为人民选择奖投票，该奖项授予罗伯特·弗格森，以表彰他的摄影作品《我不容易》。这张精准的照片展示了一条鱼被一只鹈鹕吃掉的危险的最后时刻。

“I had set up my camera to take some portraits and watch their behavior and noticed one particular bird that had caught one of the big fish from the pond,” Ferguson told Nature TTL. “I watched, intrigued, as the bird swam in circles, dipping his bill, taking water, then raising his beak to attempt to swallow his large prey. But every time the fish extended its sharp spines on its fins – you can see it hooked on the beak here – and lodged itself firmly.”

弗格森告诉《自然》TTL:“我准备好了相机，拍下它们的照片，观察它们的行为，然后注意到有一只特别的鸟从池塘里抓到了一条大鱼。”我好奇地看着这只鸟转着圈子游着，用嘴蘸着水，然后用嘴衔着水，试图把它的大猎物吞下去。但每次鱼伸出它鳍上的尖刺时——你可以看到它钩在喙上——它就牢牢地嵌住自己。”

“This went on for over 20 minutes, with no sign of either party tiring. I was fascinated to see the intricate veins in the bird’s throat pouch, as the overcast day backlit the thin skin, and I had to move and crouch low to the ground to get the shot.”

这样持续了20多分钟，没有任何一方疲惫的迹象。我被这只鸟喉袋里错综复杂的静脉吸引住了，因为阴天的背光照亮了薄薄的皮肤，我不得不移动身体，低伏在地上拍下这张照片。”
