Success in Bird Photographer of the Year Contest

Honored to have my favorite willet photo “commended” in the Bird Photographer of the Year international contest in the Birds in Flight Category and published in their 8th edition book.  Was very pleased to be in the top 1% of 20,000 photos.  Congratulations to all of the winners and those that were published.  My first time entering this contest and it paid off.  It won’t be my last.

I was notified back in July that this photo was going to be published in their annual photo contest book so ordered one. It showed up last week and it’s a high quality “coffee table” type of book. Would be cool if other contests provided books for their top photos.

    Outstanding photo Tim! The colors and the exquisite outstretched wings of the bird’s feathers and flight are beautifully captured. Congratulations on your honorable award and being selected to have your excellence displayed in that book.

    Congrats. That is awesome. I live in New England and would love to get to down to that area. It’s on my (USA) Bucket List! I’m a big shorebird fan. Elaine
