The winners of the 2008 BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards have been posted on the Natural History Museum’s website. In the Underwater World category, Brian Skerry took first, runner-up, and specially commended. Other commended images were taken by Jordi Chias, Thomas Peschak, Laurent Piechegut, Amos Nachoum, Noam Kortler, and David Hall.
I’d also like to plug my good friend, Andy Biggs, who won the Wild Places category with his incredible image of the Skeleton Coast in Namibia.

Comment(s):All in all, and apart from some good shots there, it is a rather disappointing result. But hey, there is hope for me [and others] if one looks at the runner-up for creative visions of nature, why on earth did I delete all those out-of-focus, butt shots?
Like someone said long ago, if it is in focus is porn if it is not it’s art...and no, I did not enter the competition so this not a post out of frustation…Posted by giftie on 10/30 at 01:18 PMBrian Skerry’s whale image is a worthy winner - congratulations to him.
Posted by Simon Rogerson on 10/31 at 03:16 AMI believe the photographer in Skerry’s shot is Mauricio Handler. Great shot!
