    Default Your best guess

    One of the four images I submitted to Audubon magazine for their 2009 inaugural photo contest, "Birds in Focus," made the cut. I got word today that I've received honorable mention for one of the images. Care to guess which one before publication of the magazine?

    There were nearly 2500 entrants with close to 16,500 images submitted according to the letter I received today from EIC, Seideman.

    My four submitted for consideration can be seen here . . .

    Another for the least tern but the gulls come a close second for me.

    Bob, My pick is the LT capture. Have they listed the Winners yet? That trip to Peru had me dreaming!!!
    It was of interest that Audubon used the staff at Nature's Best to pick the images. In an email from NB after decisions were made my contact said that they felt the submissions were quite above what they expected Quality wise!! Congtats!
