It is a pleasure to let you know that in the Monochrome Photography Awards 2014 I have received seven Highly Commended Awards. Photographers from 86 countries – in all 7,000 images – entered the 2014 competition.
Selected from 20,000 images of which 102 were awarded, I am delighted to let you know that my image “Sleeping Polar Bear” has been highly commended in the Polar Passion category in Nature’s Best Photography 2014.
It is a great pleasure to share that my image of a resting Polar Bear reached 3rd Place (Bronze Medal PSA) in Global Arctic Awards Competition 2014. I also achieved a Highly Commended Award (Ribbon RPS) for my under water / split picture of a walrus.
The first weekend of October I was at Flatanger on the western coast of Norway photographing white tailed eagles from boat. Most of the images turned out quite classic, but one late night we did have the eagles in front of the moon and that was a great experience! Flatanger also offers good opportunities for photographing other wildlife species like the common but still very beautiful great tit, willow tit (granmeis), red squirrel, and much more. In wintertime you can also photograph goshawk and golden eagle.
It is a pleasure to let you know that my photograph below has been awarded 3rd place – FZC Bronze Medal – in Narava International Contest of Photography 2014. In this year´s competition totally 663 photographers from 63 countries participated with the total number of 6,800 images. This was my first attempt in this contest.
