OK, after seeing the winners and the other high-ranking entries I don't feel so bad anymore that I didn't even make it into the first round.

Wow the ant one is brilliant.

So much better than last year's which turned out to be a fake, anyway (or the one before which was only a lucky camera trap shot and had no artistic value whatsoever).

Yes I really didn't like the snow leopard one. There was so much noise on it too!

Mm, very nicely cartoonish.

I think the one from the year before last won on the basis of "effing hell, its an effing Snow Leopard, how the effing hell did he get that, I've never even seen one in a zoo, the lucky effer". Which isn't a bad reason to be perfectly honest. This sort of competition isn't just about artistic merit, but the work that has to go into a shot, which in some cases is often more obvious than others- especially when dealing with species like that.

I liked the polar bear. Like the snow leopard, it's not just the quality of the shot but that he got a photo that close at all.

That is one of my favourites, too.

I would be more impressed if he'd been holding the camera at the time. ;o) Just good luck, no skill involved.
