From the several thousands of images submitted to the BWPA 2013 competition, I managed to squeeze two into the final short-list of 300. I just missed out on an award, but hey, I was pretty chuffed to get this far! Subsequently, the seal image won a highly Commended award 🙂

Here are the images that were short-listed:
