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.

大獎授予了法國攝影師弗洛里安·勒杜，他拍攝的這張以食蟹海豹為主題的照片獲得了1000英鎊的獎金。這張照片是由一架Ledoux無人機在南極洲浮冰上空拍攝的。冰面上的海豹群證明了這些浮舟對它們休息和生產是多么重要。

“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.

勒杜在一份聲明中說:“能獲得總冠軍我太激動了，我從沒想過會是這樣。”“對我來說，展示北極和南極地區(qū)的現狀非常重要，從那里獲得這個獎項的圖像是很重要的曝光。

“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，任何受這種無人機圖像啟發(fā)的人都應該理解野生動物的重要性，并在你的方法中體現倫理道德。確保你的無人機不會嚇到動物或打擾它們，并始終遵守當地的規(guī)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.”

野生動物攝影師和比賽組織者威爾·尼科爾斯說:“弗洛里安的照片提供了一個在野生動物攝影中不常見的獨特視角。評委們做出了艱難的選擇，但這些被碎冰包圍的海豹的細節(jié)和強有力的組成使它從人群中脫穎而出。”

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.

景觀類的第一名是馬雷克·比加爾斯基(Marek Biegalski)，她還利用無人機拍攝了一幅羊群在樹蔭下降溫的照片。

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.

宏觀攝影獎授予中國攝影家袁明輝，他拍下了一只蜻蜓在草地上休息的驚人的雙色照片，創(chuàng)造了一個簡單而藝術的構圖。

“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.”

袁說:“我穿著一件防水的工作服在大別山的小溪里，等著觀察這只蜻蜓。”“Matrona basilaris是這里的河流之王。每3米就有一只雄性巴西龍。他們在等著雌天鵝飛過它的領地;這只雄性趕走了一只雄性對手，然后停在了草地的頂端。在天空的背景下，我發(fā)現了草的線條和主體之間的聯系。自然本身就是一幅簡單的畫。”

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.

來自印度的15歲少年薩帕塔什·加延贏得了青年組的冠軍，他的作品描繪了一只猛禽捕食昆蟲，農民為清理土地而點燃的火堆將它們拋向天空。

“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.”

“當大火蔓延到整個地區(qū)時，小昆蟲開始出現，”加延說。然后勇敢的黑飛龍開始利用這一時刻，吃掉它們，在實火上飛行。當火勢蔓延到一個新的區(qū)域時，這些鳥通常會毫無畏懼地坐在樹枝上，觀察昆蟲的活動，然后飛到離火很近的地方去抓獵物。這是一張全畫框的照片，龍鼓的寧靜讓我想起了羅馬皇帝尼祿。”

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.

野生動物攝影愛好者為人民選擇獎投票，該獎項授予羅伯特·弗格森，以表彰他的攝影作品《我不容易》。這張精準的照片展示了一條魚被一只鵜鶘吃掉的危險的最后時刻。

“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.”

弗格森告訴《自然》TTL:“我準備好了相機，拍下它們的照片，觀察它們的行為，然后注意到有一只特別的鳥從池塘里抓到了一條大魚。”我好奇地看著這只鳥轉著圈子游著，用嘴蘸著水，然后用嘴銜著水，試圖把它的大獵物吞下去。但每次魚伸出它鰭上的尖刺時——你可以看到它鉤在喙上——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.”

這樣持續(xù)了20多分鐘，沒有任何一方疲憊的跡象。我被這只鳥喉袋里錯綜復雜的靜脈吸引住了，因為陰天的背光照亮了薄薄的皮膚，我不得不移動身體，低伏在地上拍下這張照片。”
