Chas,
Thanks, I did.
IMO this post more clearly pointed out Artie's true award.

Thanks to both James and to Robert O'Toole who posted much earlier.

Here are two relevant comments from Robert's thread:

<!-- END TEMPLATE: bbcode_quote -->Hey Roman,

This is my sixth honored BBC image. Have come close but never won a category. This is my first honored digital image after too long a drought...

As the judging is extremely subjective I try not to get too excited when I have an image honored and not to get to excited when I do not :) :) :)

Thanks to all for their kind words.

ps; FIre in the Mist was also Highly Commended and wound up on the cover of the book :Light on the Earth" that featured 20 years of winning images. We still have few copies of that for sale...

<!-- END TEMPLATE: bbcode_quote -->Yes, and a big time thanks to Milo who was my host in Cordova, AK several years ago. 90% of the birds left early and well before I arrived but Milo took me to this group behind the supermarket right in town... If not for him, .....

And also thanks to Charles Krebs who inspired this image some 30 (???) years ago with his amazing shorebird spread in Audubon magazine.
