These incredible images were nominated as finalists for the Nature Photographer of the Year competition for showcasing the beauty of the natural world.
Organised by Nature Talks, there are a variety of sections including landscape, underwater, wildlife and storytelling - with 19,547 images entered from 95 different countries.
The overall winner was Italian photographer Roberto Marchegiani, who was named Nature Photographer of the Year for 2020.
His winning shot was of a giraffe emerging from the forest in Lake Nakuru, Kenya, during the rainy season. Roberto and his friends saw a group of giraffes walking in front of woodland.
But instead of snapping the animals together, Roberto focused on an area of the trees which he thought would frame the long-legged animal well and waited. Eventually a tall creature appeared in his lens, and he got the wonderful shot he was after.
