It's very difficult to judge from web images but I'm going to anyway... 8-) Although all of these images are good, none of them hit me with the impact that many of the WPOY do. Mainly, that is due to background. For example, "gilamot". An excellent study, which would have been much better if you had been able to get the bird silhouetted against the lighter rock. Similar effect in "heron1", "oystercatcher1" and others where the background is cluttered. The ones where you have got a clear background are more mundane species. This shouldn't make a difference but..... For me (and bear in mind I'm looking at small, low resolution pictures) the ones that work are "Geese at hockbeach" (I suspect this may be your best possible entrant) "junko 1 & 3", "owl 2" and "Starling". I hope you do enter and do well. Check the conditions of entry carefully. You may not like all you find there. mke ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
