A teenager's photograph of an east London fox sipping from a puddle below a streetlamp has won the top prize in a wildlife photography competition.
The Park Life picture - taken by 18-year-old Kyle Moore - beat thousands of images to win the RSPCA Young Photographer Awards.
It was described as "simply stunning" by naturalist and television presenter Chris Packham.
He said the image "really stood out" for the whole judging panel, adding: "It tells a story as it shows the fox coming out of the shadows drinking from a shallow puddle in street light.
Top prize: Kyle Moore's winning photoPA"The timing was perfect and Kyle should be very proud."
The photograph was taken in a park in Ilford and Kyle used a slow shutter speed to give transparency to the fox's tail.
