Congrats to Matt Cole. His fantastic image of a grasshopper 'scratching' its head appeared in the Sunday Times magazines Animal Pictures of the Year article this Sunday.

thanks Robert, it's kind of you to mention it. Here's the thread from when I posted this image some time ago:
Incidentally, this image was published in one or two other papers in October, including in their online versions. These online versions have resulted in the image becoming almost viral on the internet and in the majority of cases I'm not credited.
My blog post below provides more details and some examples;

Nice work Matt, a very worthy photograph.
The internet is a double edged sword, its easier than ever to get your work published, but its even easier for unscrupulous individuals to rip off your work. Hopefully though it will generate more interest in your portfolio and be a good thing for you overall.

I suppose that any exposure is good exposure. Well done
