I see your images are on preview for this year's "Highly Commended" images in the BBC Veolia WPOTY!

Maybe I am missing someone from BPN who is also there? :Whoa!:
Might see a few more when the winners are announced :w3

[Dan Brown]

Beautiful images! Congrats guys for being included in a great group of captures!

[Humberto Ramos]

Congrats for both, stunning images...
I´m not surprized with the nomination, BPN photographers are always there... :w3

[Doug Brown]

Congrats to Artie and Greg! It's a big honor!

[Grace Scalzo]

Congrats Artie and Greg. Big time honor for you both!

[Danny J Brown]

Congratulations Artie and Greg! What a field of photographs, by the way, all amazing and both of yours as strong as any of them.

[denise ippolito]

Congratulations Artie and Greg, both are fantastic images and well deserved!:S3:

[Greg Basco]

Thanks, everyone, for your congrats. As a first-time entrant, it's a pretty cool honor for sure.

Arthur, I know you've been there before numerous times but my congrats for your commended image this year. It looked great (very artistic). I look forward to seeing it larger, as with the others, once the others announcements come out.

Cheers,
Greg

[Stu Bowie]

Big congrats Artie and Greg. An incredible achievement.

[Brendan Dozier]

Congratulations, Artie & Greg!

[Arthur Morris]

Thanks all and congrats to Greg. Wow, what a collection of images and what an honor to be in the group. I think that this is my 7th honored image. I urge all to check out the stuff in the slide show: high key, fog, small in the frame, and crazy-krops (but very creative and original) lead the league. It is obvious that they are looking for a different animal. When I posted my winning image on the blog a while back and asked for critiques half of the boys and girls suggested that I should have deleted it :).

[Rachel Hollander]

Congrats Artie and Greg, well deserved.

That's pretty funny, Arthur! Good thing you didn't -- it's a beauty for sure.

Cheers,
Greg

[Marina Scarr]

Congratulations to both of you. They are awesome images. Artie, I didn't see that post on your blog but I think that is a kick butt picture...out of the box. Same for Greg's. Actually, interesting that they are both high key. The images in the highly honored are amazing so it will be interesting to see the winners.

[Bill Jobes]

Fabulous images Artie and Greg ... and most deserving of such a high honor !

Congratulations to both of you. Looks like a strong, artistic and very interesting group of highly commended images with lots of familiar names.

[Ian Cassell]

Outstanding images, guys! Congratulations for an honor well-deserved!

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words!

I have now looked at these images three times, given the extremely poor reproduction on the website it is hard to draw any meaningful conclusions. But in my opinion, with very few notable exceptions this is another triumph for "form over substance".

Thanks for sharing your opinion with us Ken. However it has no place in a thread congratulating BPN honorees in one of the premier nature and wildlife photography contests in the world.

[peter delaney]

Well done Artie and Greg....Awesome work .. and great achievement...in what is probably the worlds best show case for wildlife and landscape photographers.

[Christopher Miller]

Congratulations, Artie and Greg! What an honor to be part of such an awesome collection of photos! :S3:

I am confused as to your meaning. Please explain what you mean by another triumph for "form over substance".

[Ken Watkins]

Aer,

I had thought that this comment was to be deleted clearly not.

I missunderstood the purpose of this thread sorry.

[Fernando Cerra]

Congrats to both of you ! great images, very creative, you are in the big league of photography.

[Indranil Sircar]

Congratulations Artie and Greg, both outstanding images!

[Greg Basco]

Thanks, Peter, Christopher, Fernando, and Indranil!

Cheers,
Greg
