I did, however, get 11 images as far as the semis and 1 into the finals. Fortunately, this year, unlike the last, I submitted online so I know exactly which ones did get that far. This will hopefully help with editing in future years. The cool part was the ones that I thought would, did actually get to this stage, and the ones that were sort of padding in my opinion, didn't. So my editing isn't probably that off...
Here's your tour of the successful part of my submission.
Nature in Black and White: The aftermath on an orgy
Nature in Black and White:Twisty
Creative visions of nature: Swarm
Urban and Garden wildlife: Coming home to roost
Urban and Garden Wildlife: Temple mongoose
Urban and Garden Wildlife: Flight paths
Wild Choice: Touch me not
Wild Choice: Boxing match
Wild Choice: Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
Animal Behaviour, Birds: Hiding Lapwing
Animal Behaviour, Others: Termite Orgy
Yup, it's one short...it's the finalist short. That one, only if and when it's a winner. Yes, I'm an awful tease!

Good to know... congratulations and all the best for the final. Post that one anyway, winner or not, after the results are declared.
To go back to an earlier discussion: the only one of these I saw and thought "I could have done that" was "Coming home to roost". And even then I'm probably wrong...
Oh the final results are out, it didn't win...
Anyone could shoot Coming home..., but it would need patience and n iterations. A little knowledge of exposure as well...too keep both bird and background in range...
:)
These are absolutely fabulous pictures. I can't wait to see the one that made it to the final!
And all the best in all the future competitions!
Sorry I read it too fast... All the best for next time.
No doubt you're right about the n iterations and the exposure thing. BTW, what do you think of HDR photography? Some of the examples on flickr seem quite spectacular, if somewhat artificial-looking.
HDR, yeah, I like it sometime, I don't others...Most of the times, it's just Mariah Carey hitting the high notes...sometimes it's for a good reason, and then it's good.
People did a version of HDR earlier as well, they just did on camera. Using Graduated neutral density filters. Bringing brighters areas such as the sky into the dynamic range of the film. HDR to an extent (not really fully) removes the need for such foresight (and very expensive filters!)...lucky us :)
Thanks Abi. I'll put that image up sometime soon hopefully :)
" Its not about winning or looseing...its about winning "
