Each week the moderators and staff of NatureScapes.Net select one photo that particularly stands out in each of the image critique galleries. This photo becomes that gallery’s Image of the Week, and at year’s end, one image is selected from these to be the gallery’s Image of the Year.
It is our great honor to announce the NatureScapes.Net 2005 Images of the Year awards! Our congratulations to Mike Danzenbaker (Birds), John Obenaus (Wildlife), Joe McCabe (Landscapes), Steve Sage, (Flora and Macro), Duke Coonrad (Elements of Humankind), and Clive Sheppard (Digital Creations) for their winning images!
