Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who entered and everyone who cast their vote :t:

Worthy winner and runners up, it was really difficult as usual. Proud to have got through to top 30 amongst such quality images but realise it was subject matter that got there.
I will keep trying though!
PS thanks for the vote (son)!!!
 
I too was just very happy to be in the final thirty, especially in such amazingly good company, and as it didn't occur to me to vote for myself (my choice came second) - I'd like to say 'thank you' to the kind person that did vote for my pic!
 
Congratulation to the winner and runners up in the Competition. There were some superb entries in this one. I can't help thinking that Jim Wood's superb Short Eared Owl would have run away with any other competition but came up against an extraordinary and unique entry in the Emperor Penguin Chick. Many congratulations to Merrigil.

Baby Emperor

Many thanks to all those who voted for me and liked my Baby Emperor image, it was a real priviledge to have spent time in the colony and watched their fascinating behaviour. If you would like to see more, please have a look at my website. www.gillmerritt.fotopic.net

Agreed !!!
 
The quality of the overall selection can be seen by the fact that so many different pictures did get votes. Congratulations to all and of course especially to the winner ...

Just seen on the BBC website that JTWood's Short Eared Owl has been chosen for the "In Pictures: Beautiful Birds" presentation (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8487031.stm). Superb! Very many congratulations and absolutely deserved :t:
