They obviously didn't think much of my effort in the amateur category where the winner (great image) is described as “A real highlight in an otherwise slightly disappointing category.”
I am probably overreacting a bit, but given that the category description starts like this "IWP strives to encourage newcomers to bird photography....." I think that this is a bit unecessary...

Thanks guys, I was much delighted by this extra christmas present.
Personally I must say that I'm very impressed with the continued strong presence from Finnish photographers in the competition. And the overall winning image is just a most fantastic image.
