BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year

[karohemd]

This year's results are out
The overall winner isn't that great a picture but getting anywhere near a snow leopard with a camera is obviously a feat so deserves praise.
There are some fine pics there and only two of them were taken with serious pro gear, the rest with entry level or pro-sumer cameras (but some rather good lenses). I like that they published the stats.
My favourite is the Clash of Eagles which looks more like a painting than a photo. Getting such a moment has to be a wonderful thrill for the tog.

(my icon is me photographing Magellan penguins in Chile)

Bah. How long will it run (I assume at the NAtural History Museum)? I'll be down in London on the 22nd for Spamalot so could take a detour.

It usually runs until Mid-February.
