Runner-Up Finish for Ducks Unlimited Member Contest

Last winter, Ducks Unlimited, the leader in wetlands conservation, held its annual member photo contest for its magazine. Categories included waterfowl, waterfowl hunting and retrievers for photographers to enter their images.

I sent in some of my favorites from the past year and was awarded the runner-up for the waterfowl hunting category out of hundreds of entries. It's always exciting to see what I capture on my D90 while out hunting and its even more exciting to see it in print in a major magazine.

This follow ups two of my photographs being selected for the Iowa Ducks Unlimited Gun Calendar for 2016. The image of a tornado of snow geese and myself raising up to shoot just like the one selected for the magazine, was also one of them selected for the calendar.

Below is a snap shot of it in the May/June issue:
