A photographer from Cornwall was named a double category winner at the South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year awards.
Jennifer Rogers triumphed in both the Nature and Your Path categories.
Her winning entry for Nature, captioned "Gannet View, Storm Isha, West Cornwall" displays a gannet caught between the rocks and sea.
Judge Trevor Burrows applauded the image for its powerful portrayal of the sea and wildlife, pairing technical proficiency with the evocative darkening of the image's edges to emphasise the spray and gannet.
Ms Rogers's second win, in the Your Path category, came from her photograph of the Milky Way over Gwennap Head, shot at moonset.
The snap provides a breath-taking view of the West Cornwall path and coastline illuminated by a gentile glow from a nearby shelter, with the awe-inspiring Milky Way stealing focus in the night sky.
Jessica Lennan, a judge and lecturer in photography at the University of Plymouth, said: "Creating such a photo demand both technical expertise and dedication".
Other winners at this year's competition include James Loveridge from Dorset, who won the coveted South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year Award 2023.
It showcases Lyme Regis Cobb being battered by Storm Ciaran.
Mr Loveridge takes home not only the award but also a £500 voucher from Luxury Coastal Holidays and two return tickets from Great Western Railway.
This year's competition also saw a new category, Sky Shot, added for the very first time.
It was won by Robert Beasley's snap of Old Harry Rocks in Dorset.
Other winners include Alex Walton's Sidmouth photograph taking the Urban Lines award, and Gary Holpin's picture of Porlock Marsh in Somerset for the Climate Change category.
While 15-year-old William Kurzon's entry, which shows Ayrmer Cove in South Devon, won the second SWCP Young Photographer of the Year Award.
