6th Annual Photography Masters Cup

For the fourth consecutive time, I was titled Nominee in Wildlife, in this annual color photography contest. This year, 8521 entries were received from 86 countries, and 3 of my insect photos made it to the nomination shortlist. While none of them were awarded any prizes in the end, it still feels great to see my pictures distinguished among many others from around the globe.
