The Animal Portraits title was handed to Federica Cordero, who spotted a rather chilled-out Chimpanzee in the wild.

A thought-provoking image named the ‘Edge of Two Worlds’ won the Ramki Sreenivasan Conservation Photography Award.
The picture taken by Rajat Chordia and Vidhan Dwivedi shows a leopard eating a cow carcass beside garbage and fast-moving traffic.
The scene from Udaipur, Rajasthan, serves as an upsetting reminder of how these animals are forced to adapt near human settlements.
Rohit Varma, co-founder of Nature inFocus, said: “What began as a national platform has evolved into a diverse international community of photographers.
“Every year, the submissions reveal fresh perspectives on the natural world and shed light on urgent conservation challenges.
“The growing number of participants and the expanding geographical reach reflect just how global this platform has become.”
