    While I like the over all winner it looks to have been captured by another "absentee" photographer.

    Congratulations to our fellow BPN'rs

    Thanks for the links.

    Some wonderful stuff. Mike I had the same thought, but I think it was really nicely done.

    Love all the BPN member photos - Very different but all excellent.

    But am I the only person really depressed by the overall competition winner ? To me this photo involved turning a wild wolf into a circus act and I find the photo most disturbing. I am not against set-ups per se. We all use them to a greater or lesser extent. For example many African waterholes are artifiicial - but excellent places to photograph birds and mammals. South Africa's legendary Giant's Castle uses bones to attract vultures and raptors and has generated many excellent photos. I guess everyone draws their own line. For me that is training wolves to jump over farm gates.

    By the way I did not enter this competition this year - but I do love and support many photo competitions. A colleague and fellow BPN member suggested that maybe the judges should more often give a precis of their reasons for believing a photo is 'award winning'. A good idea.
