A picture of two penguins standing "flipper in flipper" has won a photography award.
Tobias Baumgaertner won the Ocean Photography Awards' community choice prize for the image, which was taken in St Kilda, Australia.
The photo of two little penguins, also known as fairy penguins, went viral after Mr Baumgaertner posted it on Instagram in March, claiming that the birds had both been widowed.
"These two fairy penguins poised upon a rock overlooking the Melbourne skyline were standing there for hours, flipper in flipper," Mr Baumgaertner wrote on Instagram.
