IN PICS | Top shots in the International Landscape Photography Awards

The winners of the seventh annual International Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards have been revealed, showcasing 101 incredible landscape photos taken all over the world.

Out of more than 3,800 entries, here are some that were chosen as the best for 2020:

International Landscape Photographer of the Year

The International Landscape Photographer of the Year title recognises the skill and discipline it takes to consistently capture outstanding images. This is the major prize and the winner is chosen based on a portfolio of four images, rather than just one.

This year's winner is Kelvin Yueng of Hong Kong, who won with these four — the image above and the three below.
