Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2011 entries and semi-final pics

So today was a good day, not just because of puffins and basking sharks, but because entrants found out where their entries had actually placed in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards...that is if you didn’t get into the finals.  So I entered 20 images into the categories of Nature in Black & White (2), Animal Portraits (3), Behaviour: Mammals (3), Behaviour: Birds (3), Animals in their Environment (3), Wild Places (3), and Gerald Durrell Award for Endangered Wildlife (3).  So out of the 20 entries 7 of them made it to the semi-finals, which I’m pretty pleased about.  Too bad none of them made it to the finals, but not bad for a first year effort...better luck next time!

I have entered all my entries onto my Eco-Vista: Photography & Research Facebook page - but the semifinal images are below...

    Really good pics :) Does anyone know how which percentage of photos actually get through to the semi-finals? I was lucky enough to have a photo get through to the semi-final two years ago too, but have always wondered how much of an achievement this is.
