aeglefinus just sent me a link to this gorgeous photo from the Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.



More winning photos can be found here. 

IF anyone has ever thought that photography was not really art in the sense of a composed image, then read the comments by the photographers against their entries.  The amount of work that went into some of the photos to get the effect that the photographer wanted is amazing.  Others are the catching of a chance moment that created an image that felt exactly right.

My aunt is a photographer. Of course it's art!

That's a lovely picture.

Possible caption - "Escape from Vole-ditz" ?

That has to be the most belligerent looking rodent I have ever seen.
