I noticed that Szabi (Szabolcs Kokay) has had his wonderful painting of a snow leopard shortlisted for the above award:

My humble offering 'Bohemians In The Branches' has also scraped into the contest.

Anyone else enter/had any luck?

Best of luck to both of you! Those are completely different paintings but both have something in common - lovely muted colours and a real sense of atmosphere. I particularly like the way that the leopard isn't seen at first glance, you have to work for it. I once spent the best part of a month trekking and climbing in Ladakh and must have spent hundreds of hours scanning the slopes for one of these beauties with no luck whatsoever!

Saw many of these at his blog but it's really nice to see them altogether here, along with the birds themselves. I'd also love to see Tim at work in a tropical setting.............
