I’ve posted this photo before, but I was just notified that it took second place in the National Wildlife Federation’s annual photo contest in the Baby Animals category, so I figured I’d repost. The NWF contest is one of the more prestigious wildlife photo competitions that I enter so honored that I was among the winners this year. Check out the other great images at this link. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 1600, f/2.8 at 1/400th of a second
Enjoy the accolades coming your way, Sean, for this stellar image! The wee one’s life is just beginning and the drama of it’s lifelong journey is underscored beautifully by the dramatic backdrop graciously provided by Mother Nature. Feel free to take a bow!
Congratulations, Sean! It is wonderful that you were so highly rewarded and recognized for the talent that we see in your postings every day: You have an extraordinary eye and talent to capture the personality of your subjects, and transform it into art.
Laura Mann said it best so I will just say: Well deserved award! Nicely done!
And thank you for sharing one of your beautiful photos with us every day.
