Nature Conservancy Contest
Hello fellow NPN members. I've been lucky enough to be selected as a finalist for 2008 in this contest..

You can see "Waterhole Landing", and about a dozen others up for the Grand Prize, from the link below. The winner is decided by public ballot at this end stage. Voting ends February 9th.

I shot this with a Canon 20D, 3 years ago in Central Texas.
