On land, at sea and in the air - see best of 2013 - PHOTOS

An alert young fox stalks his way through long summer grass, bathed in the glow of a balmy evening.

A poppy field in full bloom, reminiscent of Monet's painting of the same name, and a fluorescent maple leaf, perfectly framed against a foggy woodland backdrop.

All of these stunning images made it through to the final round of the Nature Photographer of the Year 2013 competition, organised by the Society of German Nature Photographers (GDT).
