These are the best iPhone photos of the year

A striking image of two Iraqi children roaming the streets of Qayyarah, near Mosul, has won the Grand Prize in this year's iPhone Photography Awards.

Children of Qayyarah shot by Sebastiano Tomada, was taken in November 2016 as Iraqi forces launched their offensive to retake Mosul from ISIS. In the image, towers of billowing smoke from oil wells set ablaze by retreating ISIS fighters can be seen in the background.

Tomada used an iPhone 6s to take the winning photograph.

The Photographer of the Year titles went to Brendan o Se of Cork Ireland for his image Dock Worker, Yeow-Kwang Yeo of Singapore for his entry The Performer and Kuanglong Zhang of Shenzhen, China for his image The City Palace.

The winners were selected from thousands of entries submitted by iPhone and iPad photographers from over 140 countries.
