A Tranquil Moment. Winner, Behavior: Mammals. Hikkaduwa Liyanage Prasantha Vinod found this serene scene of a young toque macaque sleeping in an adult’s arms.

Life Under Dead Wood. Winner, 15–17 Years. Alexis Tinker-Tsavalas rolled a log over to see the fruiting bodies of slime mold and a tiny springtail.

He used a technique called focus stacking, where 36 images, each with a different area in focus, are combined. #

Under the Waterline. Winner, Underwater. Matthew Smith carefully photographed a curious leopard seal beneath the Antarctic ice. He used a specially made extension he designed for the front of his underwater housing to get this split image. It was his first encounter with a leopard seal. The young seal made several close, curious passes. "When it looked straight into the lens barrel, I knew I had something good." #

The Swarm of Life. Winner, Wetlands: The Bigger Picture. Shane Gross looked under the surface layer of lily pads as a mass of western toad tadpoles swam past. Shane snorkeled in the lake for several hours, through carpets of lily pads. This prevented any disturbance of the fine layers of silt and algae covering the lake bottom, which would have reduced visibility. #

生命的蜂拥。获奖者,湿地:大局观。Shane Gross 在一群西部蟾蜍蝌蚪游过时,观察了睡莲叶表层下的情况。Shane 在湖中浮潜了几个小时,穿过睡莲的地毯。这防止了覆盖湖底的细层淤泥和藻类受到干扰,否则会降低能见度。#
