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.

John had been tracking this family group for almost a week, wearing snowshoes and carrying light camera gear to make his way through snowy forests. When fresh tracks led him to the group, he kept his distance to make sure he didn’t disturb them. #

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. Alexis worked fast to take this photograph, as springtails can jump many times their body length in a split second. He used a technique called focus stacking, where 36 images, each with a different area in focus, are combined. #

死木下的生命。获奖者，15-17 岁。Alexis Tinker-Tsavalas 翻开一根木头，看到黏菌的子实体和一只小弹尾虫。Alexis 快速拍下这张照片，因为弹尾虫可以在瞬间跳跃多倍于其身体长度的距离。他使用了一种称为焦点堆叠的技术，将 36 张不同焦点区域的图像组合在一起。#

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." #

不要往下看。高度赞赏，行为：哺乳动物。Rick Beldegreen 目睹了一群美洲狮幼崽跟踪它们潜在的原驼猎物。他跟踪一只美洲狮及其三只幼崽已有几天，当时他看到了这一幕。原驼在看到美洲狮后转移到更高的地方，但没有注意到几米外的幼崽。#

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。#

The Scent Collector. Highly commended, Behavior: Invertebrates. Clay Bolt was dazzled by an orchid bee as it collected aromatic compounds from a leaf.

Using organic scents mixed by scientists to attract and survey butterflies and moths, he had seconds to photograph the bee as it stood collecting oils before it buzzed away. #

As Clear as Crystal. Highly Commended, Under Water. Jason Gulley gazed through clear water at a manatee and a calf adrift among the eelgrass. He has photographed many manatee mother-and-calf pairs.
