The eagerly-awaited winners of the 2012 National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest have been revealed.
Eleven stunning pictures have been chosen from the more than 12,000 entries, from 6,615 photographers in 152 countries around the globe.
Prizes ranged from a Galapagos photography expedition to $200 gift certificates at B&H photography.
The winning picture went to Cedric Houin for his image entitled 'Butterfly'. The image was shot in the Kyrgyz lands of the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan. A woman and child are sitting inside a yurt.
