- Published
Take a look at this very purple picture! The photo, called Chicago Prairie, is of the city of Chicago, in America. It was the competition’s overall winner in the adult category and shows the contrast between the city’s skyline and the flowers in Lurie Garden, Millennium Park.
Elliot Conner was the overall winner in the under-18s category. He managed to snap a tiny bush cricket sitting on a leaf in the Garigal National Park in Sydney, Australia. The picture, which is called Glowing Green, has a very dark background making the insect and leaf really stand out.
This beautiful image, named Bursting Light, was taken by Leo Justice in Singapore. Leo’s impressive photograph gained him the top spot in Under-11s category.
This image was created using maple samaras and came first in the competition's abstract category. You've probably seen these seeds before; they're often referred to as helicopters because of the way they spin as they fall.
This photograph is of the hellebores flower. The plant belongs to the buttercup family and there are thought to be around 20 species originating from both Europe and Asia. The flower comes in lots of different colours including white, yellow, red, pink, purple and even black!
This wintery image was taken at RHS Garden Wilsey in Surrey. It shows the sunshine peeking through the trees on a frosty day and if you look closely, you might even spot someone out for a walk!
The photographer who took this image called it Busy Bees, and you can see exactly why! The colourful image was taken at RHS Flower Show Tatton Park in Knutsford.
This cool, calm and collected ant is definitely camera ready! It was photographed in Kiev, Ukraine.
