I would like to share with you that my image of an African elephant at Victoria Falls was awarded First Prize in the Mammals category of the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards 2009. :smile:

My image of whooper swans in Japan was Highly Commended in the birds category.

Fellow NPN-er Jasper Doest won First Prize in the Other Animals category with an image of a spider. Congrats Jasper! :toast:

A gallery with all the winning images can be found here.

Congratulations Marsel, that image sure is incredible, well deserved.. I was wondering why I didn't see you at the BBC WPotY, I guess this explains it!
