Anyone for a swim?

And not satisfied with his top two places, Nick Dale was also highly commended for his picture of a tigress in India. He said: 'The Bengal tigress was taken in Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in India. I liked the way she was up to her neck in the dark shadows of a water hole'

FOOD!

This colourful shot of a diving hummingbird got Argentinian Mario Fiorucci highly commended. He said: 'It is a bird that has incredible dynamics and a speed such that even in 1/8000 most of the time you can not freeze the wings As helicopters do, they can remain suspended in the air at a fixed point, and even fly backwards. Hummingbirds are the smallest birds in the world, and there are almost 340 species'

Photo taken at 1/8000 second!

Uh! Just Run!

American Sandy Scott was highly commended for his two incredible bird pictures taken in his native Florida. In fact he didn't even realise he had this shot of an osprey with a fish in its talons until he got home and checked his camera. He said: 'When I got home and was uploading my images, I almost fell off my chair when I saw that I had made this amazing capture of the bird with his wings in the so-called angel wing position, making direct eye contact with me and clutching a fish in one talon - it's a one in a million capture'

An elephant bathing!

As well as coming first in the competition, Mr Dale bagged himself bagged himself a runner up spot with this photo of an elephant throwing dust over itself in Chobe National Park in Botswana. He said: 'It has mud stains on its trunk, and the dust is exploding in a cloud against its wrinkled grey skin'
