I'm happy to say that Minnesota's Jim Brandenburg took home the most individual honors with four. Here is a snippet from the page on how they came to their decisions...
"The International League of Conservation Photographers, a fellowship of the top professional conservation photographers working today, was recruited to nominate nature photographs that the member photographers considered to be “the best,” in whatever way they chose to define it. They were encouraged, however, to consider factors such as aesthetics, uniqueness, historical and scientific significance, or contribution to conservation efforts. The photographers were not permitted to self-nominate." |

->> Interesting. I was surprised that I actually recognized the majority of the shots. Obviously many were from National Geographic, but a few were prominent in recent BBC competitions. Nice to see such a diversity of subjects, photographers and eras represented, but it still leaves me wondering what about some of the criteria for selections.
Since it's a subjective process, one can't really complain about certain choices... just kick back and enjoy the view. ;) Thanks for the link, Derek. |
