The British Ecological Society has announced the winners of its annual photography competition, with first place going to an image of a Malagasy tree boa.
Winning photographer Roberto Garcia Roa said: "Unfortunately, many areas of Madagascar are suffering huge anthropic pressures, including poaching and fires, and big snakes are becoming increasingly difficult to see.
"During my visit to Madagascar, I had the pleasure of finding this outstanding snake and photographing it.
"To offer a dramatic scenario reflecting the conditions that these snakes are suffering, I used an external red light as a source of light and severe blurring to capture the environment."
The winning images will be exhibited at the society's annual conference , in Belfast, between 10 and 13 December. They will then be displayed at Ulster Museum, from 11 February 2020.
