'This large, lone elephant surprised us first thing in the morning.' So writes Spanish photographer Miguel Sanchez Garcia of this beautiful shot, which was taken in Tanzania, near the Kenyan border. Garcia, aged 12, was the runner-up in the Young Travel Photographer of the Year award in the 14-years-and-under category
Another breathtaking shot of the Denali National Park taken by overall winner Gatto. He recalls: 'Between the colourful tundra and the almost black-and-white mountains there lay a dense stripe of mist. I tried to portray the landscape in three different stripes. Tundra on the lower part, mist in the centre and the mountains on top.' According to the photographer, the conditions created a 'different and mystical view of the landscape'
Schroeder was also responsible for this spectacular 'special mention' shot. It was taken at the Taekwando Palace in Pyongyang, North Korea, and shows a 'group of athletes simultaneously execute a "tul", a series of offensive and defensive techniques against one or several virtual adversaries'
A fourth shot by Schroeder, which won the 'One Shot - Icons of Travel' category. Describing what's happening in the picture, which was also taken in Pyongyang, he says: 'An old woman walks under the Mansudae Grand Monument with its 22m-high bronze statues of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il while a group of students listens to their teacher'
This mesmerising shot was awarded a 'special mention' by the judges. Photographer Richard Li, who is from Hong Kong, explains that he took the picture in Masai Mara, Kenya, when he 'encountered a group of lions on a rainy day'. He says: 'It's good to take photos of them shaking off the water on their heads - the expression of this young lion is really interesting'
This is one of several photos taken by Portuguese photographer Jose Fragozo, whose entries were highly commended in the Living World Portfolio category. The poignant shot was captured in Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya. Fragozo says: 'After a long walk, a pride of lions rests on a surviving patch of grass after a fire destroyed most of their territory. This photo was taken from a safari vehicle with a camera on an extended monopod'
Another incredible image from Fragozo's series on the Masai Mara National Reserve. Describing this shot, he says: 'An eye blinked in the drought-stricken mud pool as the hippopotamus emerged to take a breath. Having observed hippos for years, I knew that they only come up for air every three to five minutes'
This is the runner-up in the iTravelled - Phone/Tablet Single Image category, taken in the town of Uttara, Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was captured by Bangladeshi photographer Mithail Afrige Chowdhury, who says: 'The train stops for just a minute and the volume of passengers was high compared to its capacity, so passengers were getting down from the roof and windows. This is an everyday scenario, even though passengers are often injured from doing this'
This remarkable picture was commended in the 'One Shot - As Shot' category and shows people making their way down to Melasti Beach in Ungasan, Bali, for the Melasti Ceremony. Indonesian photographer Jason Hioe, who secured the shot, says: 'The Melasti Ceremony is an important Hindu Balinese purification ceremony - the biggest in this religion and carried out throughout the country. In this image great numbers of people make their way down the cliff to Melasti Beach, where the ceremony will take place, presided over by a priest'
