The results of the 2007 Wildlife Photographer of the Year are out.  You can see them on the Guardian website.  It is a pity about the sponsor of the competition, but the photos remain worth seeing.

I was particularly struck by the zebras charging overhead, the shot of the meerkats spell-bound by a bug, and the photo of the brown bear swimming towards the camera in a river.  Photos like these make you so grateful to the photographers who have gone deep into the muddy or wet or hot corners of a remote ecosystem and brought back their vision.  If it wasn’t for people like this, most of us would never see these moments from beyond the species-barrier.   Thank you photographers!
