Briton, John Hill, took the Silver award in the compact cameras category for his action-packed image taken from the heart of a school of SILVER COATED JACKFISH. An amateur underwater photographer, he was diving off Sipadan Island in East Borneo, Malaysia during September 2009 as part of a year he spent travelling south-east Asia with his girlfriend, Jenny. Luckily for John his prize was a week eco-diving in Monado, Indonesia, so he will be heading back to south-east Asia in May 2011.

A dramatic picture of a leopard seal snapping its jaws directly at the lens of Bartosz Strozynski, landing him the gold award for animal behavior.

This one saw his reflection in my lens and must have thought I was another LEOPARD SEAL. So she displayed her teeth as a warning."
