Canadian Geographic Best Wildlife Pictures 2013

So quite awhile I entered a little contest with a few of my photos.  None of them won, but then I was contacted asking if I’d give permission to have one of my images included in an upcoming edition of the magazine.  I said yes (in my head I was saying something a bit closer to yesyesyesyesyesareyoukiddingme?YES!) and uploaded it to their site, but it was with the understanding that it was being considered but would not be automatically accepted.  That was the last I heard of it until today.  Today this arrived in my mailbox.

and inside I found:

I cannot tell you how honoured I am to be included in this Canadian Geographic Best Wildlife Pictures edition.  The photos in it are absolutely amazing and I am floored to be a part of it.
