Thrilled that my image of the Heart and Soul Nebulae was selected as the Astronomy winner in the Royal Society Publishing 2024 Photography Competition! Thank you for this honor, @RSocPublishing! 🌌 #RSPPhotoComp

Finally, the runner-up in our #Microimaging category "The Lovecraftian World" by Irina Petrova Adamatzky. In this photograph, the mycelium of Armillaria sprawls across the surface, forming a pattern reminiscent of a Lovecraftian world map. #RSPPhotoComp

#Microimaging winner "Tired eyes" by Jose Manuel Martinez Lopez. These are the eyes of a scorpion observed in fluorescence under the microscope with an objective of 10x/0.3. #RSPPhotoComp

#Ecology and #EnvironmentalScience runner-up "The Piscean Mad-Eye-Moody!" by Abhijeet Bayani. This photo captures a live flatfish. Interestingly, they are born symmetrical, but during their sinistral metamorphosis, the right eye shifts to the left side. #RSPPhotoComp

#Ecology and #EnvironmentalScience winner "Secretary bird gullet" by Peter Hudson. This bird has just caught a locust, and as it swallows its prey it synchronously closes its third eyelid, the nictatating membrane, to protect its eye from damage. #RSPPhotoComp

#EarthScience and #Climatology winner "Ice cap melt lake in Greenland" by David Garcia. The photo depicts a supraglacial melting lake over the Greenlandic ice sheet, ranging from some meters to several kilometres wide. It was singular due to hundreds of small aquamarine structures formed by the melting and thawing process. #RSPPhotoComp

The runner-up in the #Behaviour category is "Breeding frenzy" by Ovidiu Drăgan. The photo captures an underwater scene of a European toad (Bufo bufo) breeding frenzy, where these toads gather in large numbers in shallow waters during the breeding season. #RSPPhotoComp

We’re excited to announce the winning entries of the #RSPPhotoComp 2024! Follow along as we reveal the beautiful winning images of each category. Starting with #Behaviour and overall winner, “The Hunt from Above” by Angela Albi, with the help of drone pilot, August Paula.
