Tadpoles steal show in wildlife photography contest
“畅游的蝌蚪”照片荣获“年度野生动物摄影师”冠军
A snapshot of wriggling toad tadpoles has earned Shane Gross the title of Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
Beneath a floating canopy of lily pads in Cedar Lake, Canada, a swarm of western toad tadpoles glided gracefully through the water.
“To me, the most fun that I can have, the thing that lights me up inside, is to see something new and try to photograph it in the best way I possibly can,” Shane told BBC News.

在加拿大雪松湖上睡莲的浮叶下，一群西部蟾蜍蝌蚪优雅地在水中滑行。
“对我来说，最有趣的、最能点亮我内心的事情，就是看到一些新事物，并尝试用最好的方式把它拍摄下来。”谢恩告诉BBC新闻。
