These are the incredible images submitted to a photo contest that shows nature at its most beautiful, intriguing and heart-melting.
The stunning pictures were all entered into the 2018 Nature Photographer of Year competition, which attracted 10,000 entries from people in over 50 countries.
Scooping the overall top prize in the contest was French photographer Bastien Riu for his magical image of a ladybird taking off from a plant; the photo was also named as the winner of the Other Animals category.

English photographer Kevin Morgans captured a striking image of an Arctic fox, left, while in Svalbard in Norway. It was runner-up in the mammals category. Pictured right is a heart-breaking image of an orangutan made to perform in Bangkok. The picture was taken by English photographer Aaron Gekoski, who won the nature and man category
Keith Wilson, president of the judging panel, said the winning photograph was a beautiful mix of timing and light.
He explained: 'This photo proves that you don't always have to travel to far and exotic destinations to make a great photo.
'Once you've got an idea and a vision towards nature photography you can also make the perfect photo next to your home.'
British photographers were also well represented with several entries wowing the judges, including a series from Neil Aldridge showing the relationship between English society and foxes.
British photographer Neil Aldridge won the Fred Hazelhoff Portfolio Award for his series on foxes in England. Pictured is Foxy, who was found abandoned as a cub but is now cared for by a vet who takes him for walks in woodland east of London. The fox lives a semi-wild life

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
