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 2004 Images of the Year awards! Our congratulations to Jim Neiger (Birds), Tom Hill (Wildlife), Ron Niebrugge (Landscapes), Herman Blockx, (Flora and Macro), and Gary Best (Elements of Humankind) for their winning images!
