This year there were a record-breaking 230,103 entries to the world's biggest photography competition: the Sony World Photography Awards.
Entries in three main categories - professional, open, and youth - were received from a record 186 countries.
Here, we've selected 17 of our favorite images that were shortlisted in the professional and open categories.
Official winners will be announced April 21, but we wouldn't be surprised if these 17 make the cut.
