This year the image above was highly commended at the BBC / Veolia Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. This is perhaps the most prestigious wildlife and nature photo competition and having a picture among the winers is a great honor. This year’s competition received in excess of 31,000 entries from 81 countries. The image was taken at the Pantanal, a vast wetland on the west part of Brazil.
