Bullfrog at Dusk. Nikon D800 & Nikon 105mm Micro Lens
The winning images were announced a couple of weeks ago for the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition and I thought I would take a moment to share two of my entries that proceeded to the final round of judging. Unfortunately, that is where this story ends but nonetheless I was thrilled that two of my both Bullfrog photos created in my favorite wetland at my family cottage on Horseshoe Lake, near Parry Sound, Ontario had made it to the final round in this prestigious competition.

Yay for Canadian bullfrogs! I think these images are outstanding. Congrats on making it to the final round!
Thanks for the kind words Katrina!
Stunning images!
Andrew, I had 5 so I feel your pain 🙂 Great images and submit them again next year!
Thanks Denise, very much appreciated! I just loved your photo that was in the running for the People’s Choice Award!!!
These are spectacular Andrew. Congratulations to making it to the final round.
Thanks Edith, I appreciate it very much!
Way to go Andrew! It’s refreshing to see ‘backyard wildlife’ getting some recognition. It seems like one usually needs really exotic material to have a hope of competing, so this is reassuring.
Thanks very much Don, very much appreciated!
