Maybe it’s a little tacky of me to toot my own horn but I figured that some of my readers might be interested in this and wouldn’t find out any other way.
Yesterday Nature Photographers Network announced the 2011 winners of their annual Editor’s Pick Awards and one of my images won first place in the Avian category. I’ll provide several links below for those who may be interested in seeing my winning photograph and those of the other winners. For those who are unfamiliar with Nature Photographers Network (NPN) it is primarily a nature photography critique site which will explain the critiques below the photos.
My image. Be sure to click the “view larger photo” option to see the photo in much better detail.
The front page of the NPN Online Magazine, which includes a slide show presentation of the First Place winning images in each of the 9 different categories. Be sure to check them out (hold your cursor over the image to temporarily stop the slide show) as there are some wonderful nature photographs in the presentation.
The first, second and third place winning images in each of the nine categories, including the critiques given on each photograph.

Congratulations! Wonderful image.
Echoing the other commentators. How wonderful to have your work appreciated like that. Thank you for sharing it with us – not tacky at all.
Congratulations Ron! What a fantastic shot!
This is truly a spectacular image, Ron.
The first place honor was well deserved.
Congratulations.
