Wildlife Photographer of the Year: 'Explosive sex' wins top prize
It's like an explosion underwater. Several camouflage groupers rush to release their sperm as a female fish drops a burst of eggs.
雌性石斑鱼甩出鱼卵之际，几条雄性争先恐后射出精子。这场面火爆的一刻，发生在太平洋海底。
This image taken at Fakarava Atoll in the Pacific has earned Laurent Ballesta the prestigious title of Wildlife Photographer of the Year (WPY).
劳伦特·巴勒斯塔（Laurent Ballesta）在南太平洋法卡拉瓦环礁（Fakarava Atoll）海底拍摄的照片，赢得世界著名的野生动物摄影奖（Wildlife Photographer of the Year）桂冠。
Jury chair Roz Kidman Cox said it was a technical tour de force.
该奖评委会主席罗兹·基德曼·考克斯（Roz Kidman Cox）说，这张照片从技术层面来说也是一幅杰作。
"It's partly the setting, taken during a full Moon, but also the timing of it, knowing when to take the picture."
“这张照片拍摄得非常巧妙，运用了灵活的摄影技术，拍摄者要把握在满月时分，也要充分掌握拍摄时机和拍摄时间。”
The annual spawning of camouflage groupers occurs in July. It's been known to draw up to 20,000 fish, along with many reef sharks looking for a meal. Overfishing threatens the groupers, but this picture was captured in a reserve that gives them some protection.
清水石斑鱼每年7月产卵。据悉产卵时分同时会吸引多达20,000条石斑鱼，和许多正在等待大餐的礁鲨。过度捕捞对清水石斑鱼造成威胁，但这张照片的拍摄地点是在一个石斑鱼保护区内。
"We spent five years in this place, 3,000 hours of diving, to get this particular moment," Laurent said.
劳伦特说：“我们在这个地方前后花了五年时间，潜水3000个小时，才捕捉到这个特别的时刻。”
"I'm attached to this picture because of the shape of the cloud of eggs: it looks like an upside-down question mark. It's a question of the future of these eggs because only one in one million will (survive to) become an adult, but it's maybe more symbolic of the future of nature. It's a very important question about the future of nature."
“我特别喜欢这张照片，因为成团的卵子构成的形状看起来像一个倒立的问号。这是一个关于这些卵子未来的问题，因为只有一百万分之一的卵子会存活并长大成年，但它也许更象征着大自然的未来。这是一个与自然界未来有关的非常重要的问题”。
As well as celebrating WPY's Grand Prize, the French photographer also wins the competition's Underwater category.
劳伦特是法国摄影师，他除了赢得野生动物摄影奖大奖之外，还赢得了本次比赛水下摄影类别奖。

背景中模糊的绿色和黄色是印度特有的三轮出租车的颜色。
"Its focusing is pin sharp," Roz Kidman Cox told BBC News. "You can actually see the little fangs if you blow up the picture. I love the way it's been framed and the way you can see all the texture of the web, its lattice structure."
评委会主席罗兹·基德曼·考克斯向BBC表示，“这张照片的对焦极其清楚。如果你把照片放大，你可以看到蜘蛛的小獠牙。我喜欢它的取景方式，你可以看到蜘蛛网的纹理和结构。”
Vidyun recalled: "It was challenging to focus the tent spider because the web shook every time a vehicle passed by."
维端说：“要把焦点对准桔云蜘蛛非常不容易，因为每次有车经过，网都会摇晃。”
