Thanks for sharing Neal.

So many beautiful shots and it is really cool to see what the judges pick. The abstract and more unique shots is what they are looking for.

Also big congratulations to Debra Herst for getting two photos as honourable mentions! Amazing work!

Cheers,
Mel

Thank you so much Mel!

It is indeed an honour! Its interesting that they chose those 2 of mine though, as you said Audubon leans more towards the abstract, unique and more dynamic poses rather than straight-on portraits like mine. Go figure!

Well they are pretty awesome Debra, especially that young Penguin! The way you have him looking at you is totally magical and it's not easy to get that close to an Albatross!

Cheers and hope you went and celebrated!

Overall an incredible collection of photos. Debra, your Albatross is amazing, quite a character shot as is the "little" penguin, both so deserving of receiving the awards, congratulations on your success.
