Darlene, I was directed to look more closely at your wildlife images and I'm very glad I did.
This just blew me away. I'm not sure of what I can add on top of the comments that are here, but it puts me in mind of an image of trees that won the Image and Form section of the UK Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. I think this is just as good. It creates an impressionist image for me that really puts you there imagining how you would feel at the moment the shutter release goes.
Fantastic. Just Fantastic.
And I'm very glad you were recognised for this.
