Michael ‘Nick’ Nichols was named the 50th Wildlife Photographer of the Year for his arresting black-and-white image of a pride of resting lions.

Nine-year-old Carlos Perez Naval took the Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year prize for his shot of a scorpion soaking up the Sun’s rays.

Jim Brandenburg, chair of the judging panel and an acclaimed wildlife photographer himself, said of the overall winning picture: ‘Nick’s image encapsulated so many elements that demonstrated artistic and technical skill’.

The photograph beat more than 42,000 entries from 96 countries to the grand title award in the competition’s 50th year.
