Doug Roane from Billings, MT scored not one, but two Second Place prizes in two national magazines...the March issue of Popular Photography and the March issue of Digital Photo magazine. What a coup!
Unfortunately, the websites of both magazines aren't current, but the winning image in Pop Photo was titled 'Alpine Awakening' (6 image blend masterfully accomplished!), while the winner in DP magazine was titled 'Cold Morning Flight'.
Way to go, Doug!!

Thank you all. I really appreciate the acknowledgement. I was actually surprised by the DP submission and didn't realize it took 2nd until I got my copy in the mail today!

Congrats! Beautiful images. Alpine Awakening is a real jaw-dropper.

Wow I just had a look. That Alpine Awakening shot is stunning! All the energy and action happening there is pretty amazing!

Impressive work, Doug. The recognition is well deserved.

Wow! Guess I'm going to have to check out these magazines. If these images are only good enough for 2nd place the winners must be amazing. Or else the contests were fixed.
Great work Doug. I love the images.

Well done! I remember when you posted the first one on ESS. Great photo, and the geese taking off is just as good.
