Doug- In the current issue of the American Photo magazine - it has images of 
the year in various subject categories. Under the Fine Art area- the runner 
up image is a Great Egret on page 45. While very nice- I like yours better- 
more action and intensity  of the subjects  and I think there is more subtle 
detail shown in the white feathers of the birds neck. Stasys
