I have been a judge in a number of photography competitions over the years and I think one of those shots is an award winning image. I expect you have probably already been told that. Anyway, competitions are a lottery and it all depends on where the judges expertise lies. However I must congratulate you on those images for a number of reasons.<br />1. They have strong storytelling. The hunter and hunted or eat or be eaten.<br />2. They are with the right cropping full of impact. i.e eye-catching. <br />3. The are technically very good with perfect exposure and focus and as you know that isn't always easy.<br />Anyway I suggest you send them in but make sure you retain copyright.<br />Great to hear from you.<br />John.John Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000639742722231998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684205219010103938.post-3444738442446151442014-10-23T15:22:34.398-07:002014-10-23T15:22:34.398-07:00Great shots!

The bird behind the Marbled Godwit is a Least Sandpiper, you can see the yellow legs and short decurved bill (Dunlin's legs would be black and bill longer).Lironhttp://lironsnaturephotography.comnoreply@blogger.com
