Some real stunners in there (and some that make me think 'ho hum').

The KF one and the hummingbird and snake are lovely
Some of them are a bit ho hum but some lovely images

Yup the one of the hummingbird and the snake is pretty amazing imo. I don't get what's so increidble about the grainy leopard shot that it won the whole thing

That would be the Cheetah?

Same thing

I'd sooner have a fight with a cheetah than a leopard

If I'd shot that winning picture would have gone straight in the delete bin!

Is it me, or is that <insert cat name here> out of focus?

That underwater kingfisher is impressive though.

Criky (loving that word at the moment!) - that Man and Nature Winner's a bit like a page of Where's Wally?

P.S. So's the Mammels Runner Up, but not as bad!

Interestingly the cheetah one and the swan with fish were in WPOTY competition too

Because a lot these days is about the story rather than the photograph?

Yeah I suppose so - but is it too much to ask to have a great story AND a great photo?
