A STUNNING picture of a giant jellyfish - twice the size of a diver - is among the best photos of the year.
Picture editors from Britain's biggest independent news agency, SWNS, have selected 100 eye-catching photos from stories it covered in 2019 for the annual award.

They include incredible images of people, animals and places shot from every angle - including above with drones.
One of the images is a photograph of commuters dashing to avoid a rainstorm - which looks like a scene straight from a Lowry painting.
Another shows plane spotters in awe of the world's most expensive and secretive plane - while it soars just 60ft over their heads.
A third that made a splash around the world, shows a diver off the British coast swimming with a huge jellyfish.
