A feisty fish left a hungry eagle in a real flap - after almost drowning the giant bird while putting up a fight in true David vs Goliath style. The eagle swooped down, talons outstretched to calmly pluck the fish out of the water but the big fish had other ideas and tried to fight back. The battle was captured by keen photographer Chad Wright during a trip this year to Mabalingwe Nature Reserve in Limpopo Province, South Africa.Picture: CHAD WRIGHT / CATERS NEWS

That's very cool. Love how the sunlight (or sunset?) is hitting the side of those buildings on the right. Makes for a nice contrast.

Fuji Blossoms
Photograph by Yuga Kurita, National Geographic Your Shot

"I live on the north side of Fuji, and spring comes earlier on the south side, so I traveled to the south to admire the cherry blossoms with Fuji before spring came to my town," says Yuga Kurita, a member of our Your Shot community.

"I left my house after midnight to get there in the morning, when the air is clearer and the cherry blossoms look more beautiful. When I was at the border between Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures, the sun was dawning, and I saw that Fuji was hiding behind clouds. So I parked and slept in my car for a while, planning to go back home after waking up. An hour later, I sensed something and woke. What I saw was Fuji emerging from the clouds. I was very delighted and drove south to capture the scene. I didn't try to focus the scene perfectly because I liked the slight bokeh effect on Mount Fuji in the background."

Cliffs of Svalbard

"The high cliffs of Svalbard drop steeply into the sea," says Stuart Chape, who submitted this picture from Norway's Arctic archipelago to the National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest. "The eroded green cliffs, remnant snow, and aquamarine sea create an abstract visual impression."
