Re: Wildlife photographer of the year 2009 winner announced

The fact that a 10 yr old winner had £10,000 worth of equipment speaks volumes......and I totally agree with Dr Thingummy on the playing field being unlevel.

As regards the cat/fox image - the selective focussing (a nice way of putting it) is on a non wild animal and the wild one is way out.
I think this may fall under the 'conceptual' umbrella. Is it a statement of man's influence on the world infringing on the welfare of wildlife, is it wildlifw at bay blah blah blah blah.............
Or is it just a chance grab shot that wasn't on the correct f number or correct subject matter LOL We'll never know
