The sight of two mice scurrying across a London Underground platform in the evening is, to many, an unwelcome feature of life in the city.
But a young photographer is hoping his award-winning shot changes that perception.
Sam Rowley's "Station Squabble" has been picked from more than 48,000 images to claim a wildlife photography award from London's Natural History Museum, voted for by the public.
The image features two mice fighting over a few leftover crumbs in a subway station.
"Everybody knows about the mice on the Underground but I don't think anyone's seen them in that light before," Rowley, a 25-year-old researcher at the BBC, told CNN.
He admitted that he got a handful of "strange looks" from commuters while laying on the floor of various central London stations, but added: "People were quite curious -- they were quite chatty and nice about the whole thing."
