I have mixed feelings about competition when it comes to art, but I do enter several that are high-profile. The biggest, highest profile competition may be the Natural History Museum/BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year. A few years ago they began accepting submissions over the internet which I much prefer to sending work overseas.
I have the full collection of competition books displaying the winning images and enjoy looking at them often. I admire the work that has been selected and often feel that my style is similar enough to be considered seriously for the competition. This year I received a bit of a confirmation of that. It was nice to find out (through the competition website), that 14 of my 16 images submitted made it to the semi-finals. Now I don’t make images for competition, but I do like being in the pool with some of the best in the world. Maybe next time, I’ll be able to stay in a bit longer.
This is one of the images that made it to the semi-finals (category – Animals in their Environment).
