And The Winner Is....!

BirdGuides Photo Of The Year Competition 2018


I'm very pleased to say that my image of a Short-eared Owl taken locally was awarded third place in the 13th Annual BirdGuides Photo Of The Year Competition 2018.

These were the judges comments on my submitted image......

"Everybody loves an owl! Short-eared Owl is one of the most well-photographed species in the Britain, with our Galleries boasting in excess of 4,000 images of the species. It takes something special to stand out from the crowed. Ralph Samuels's image is a fine portrait, but it is the brilliant expression on the birds' face which really made it for us here in the BirdGuides office, and clearly that resonated with you, too. Ralph only started to contribute to our site in 2018, so third place was a fantastic result in his first year, we hope, an inspiration to other photographers out there to start contributing. Will he go one better in 2019 ...?"

Thank you to BirdGuides, Birdwatch Magazine and especially to all the people that voted for my image, a big thank you its very much appreciated.
