'Masquerade III' won Mireia Vilaplana, a photographer living in the UAE, the National Awards this year. The artist said of her work: 'This image is part of a series shot during the 2020 lockdown...

This photograph by Yoganathan Yoke of a long-tailed macaque, also known as the crab-eating macaque, was taken in the mangrove forest of Kuala Gula, Perak. 'I went there one evening, hoping to photograph birds or snakes, when I saw a group of macaques foraging in the mud for their last meal of the day. A ray of light from the sunset fell on this macaque just as it looked up. I felt it looked like a gesture of hope for the future,' said photographer Yoke in a statement.
