I really appreciate your feedback and I also fully agree with your advise. However, at the time when I took this shot it was -5°C and I was not motivated enough to get my feet wet
. Second drawback, I had no quality zoom lens at this time. Next time I will show more commitment I really appreciate your feedback and I also fully agree with your advise. However, at the time when I took this shot it was -5°C and I was not motivated enough to get my feet wet
Or crop - hope you don't mind.
Beyond the fine people who frequent this part of the photography world I've never received any recognition for a wildlife photo or a photo of any type. It's not that I've tried or have been looking for it but it is nice when it happens.
For a number of years Canada's Royal Ontario Museum has hosted an exhibit of London's Natural History Museum Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest. For anyone not familiar with it the Natural History Museum's contest, now in its 52nd year, is top in the world for wildlife and nature photographers.
For the last two years, our Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) has held their own Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest in recognition of the exhibit. I was thrilled to pieces to learn that I placed first runner-up in the ROM contest this year.

So now I'm livin' large and posting two shots in one day!

Congratulations Peter, that's awesome! Very well deserved. It's about time your fantastic wildlife shots received the recognition they so richly deserve. I am always massively envious of your photographs and it's good to see you being rewarded for one of them.
Also good to put a name to a face

Thank you all for your very kind remarks.
It was a great experience. Part of that was having the opportunity to speak with the competition judges at the awards event. Very interesting to hear about what people in that position look for in a wildlife photograph...especially when they're representing an institution like the Royal Ontario Museum.
