Thank you to all the photographers that participated in the Birds Of A Feather Photo Contest in collaboration with North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA), sharing their best photos showing feathered birds. Congratulations to the winners and finalists, and a special round of applause for the Grand Jury Winner who wins a NANPA Free Membership.
A special thanks to our friend and professional photographer Melissa Groo for his collaboration as a guest judge. Melissa is an award-winning wildlife photographer, writer, teacher and speaker. She writes a regular column on wildlife photography for Outdoor Photographer magazine, and her photos have been published in many magazines, including Smithsonian, Audubon, and National Wildlife. Issues of conservation and ethics in photography are passions for her, but more than anything, she loves revealing the soul of her wild subjects and sharing that with others.
