The use of 'models' has its place, but not in a Wildlife Competition.  There is no doubt that the image was technically brilliant, but to hoodwink not only the judges but the general public is deplorable and should not be tolerated. I'm sad for the entrants of the competition that were placed highly and that they cannot be promoted. This fraud has tainted the whole competition with his nefarious submission. Root all the cheats out I say, and ban them from not only further competitions but blacklist their work.</p></blockquote><p></p>
