A few weeks ago I sent out a newsletter asking you to help me choose in selecting an image to be entered into the Aperture Nature Photography Contest. I said it would probably be best to just choose your favorite but also let you know that the judging of the pictures was based on this criteria: originality, theme, technical & artistic details, story, and visual impact.
The five options where:
1 - Fairy Terns in Flight
2 - Fairy Tern in Flight
3 - Nesting Red-tailed Tropicbird
4 - Alarmed Mule Deer
5 - Standing out in a Crowd
And the winner was:
Winner #1 - Fairy Terns in Flight
Over a hundred people responded, so thank you so much for that. It was a very very close race with number one beating number two by three votes. So I entered number one into the contest hoping to go to the Yellowstone National Park workshop. I just heard the results of the contest and I didn’t make the top four needed to win. Nonetheless there will be a fourth leg of the contest with the workshops held in Olympic National Park. For it I will enter number two since it received the second largest amount of votes.
Thanks again for all the help in making a decision and if I do get into the latest one I will let you know.
