A wonderful series of photos taken by The New Zealand Herald photographer Richard Robinson that have won the 2013 National/Metropolitan Features Photograph Of The Year Award.
These beautiful creatures were photographed in the waters of the Vava'u Group in the Pacific's Kingdom of Tonga.
Congratulations Richard...
