Geez Bruce, for your best you chose some of the most difficult, good on you Love the colors of the hummer, who can walk away from an the cuteness of the otter and super high difficulty points on the last. Superb work Bruce, these rock!
Excellent contribution Nial. Blue Tit's are one of my favorites and a bird would love to see on day. Until then I'll be happy to look at great shots like this one. Congrats on the sale!!! +1 on Karl's comment

One of two brothers....this one is nursing his wounds, he must have been in one heck of a battle with something, perhaps another lion. Missing some teeth....face all scratched up....he is beaten up pretty good, but I am guessing that the other is dead.....

My only entry. Tracking her for the picture took a certain degree of hard work and uncertainty. When I saw her, the light was coming from the opposite direction, so I had to hop through 3 feet of snow for 100 yards and circumnavigate a large house to get in position. Luckily, she was content with the tree she was feeding from, and barely took notice of me. At one point, I had to direct several xc skiers to go the opposite direction with hand signals; I was afraid they'd drive her towards me, and I cant outrun a moose.

Excellent set OccAeon, we don't get many ice cave shots posted here!! Love the bear in the tree!!
Top notch set Tim and an wonderful addition to the thread. The background on the BCNH is to die for
A fine couple of shots George, the mallard really stands out, you handled the exposure on the head perfectly
Super job Jason, both are splendid but the frog image is in a class of its own
Wow Herb, that is one beat up lion, I would hate to see other guy That certainly is one of the most unique lion shots of the year!!
Great story Jay and a super shot for your efforts!!! Excellent
