Today I heard that my photo of the Adelie Penguins (mother
and chick) was selected for publication for the National Geographic Assignment
on Your Shot. The assignment titled ‘Embrace
the Untamed’ asked for the wildest animal and nature photos we had. It was looking for nature at its least
domesticated – nature displaying its untamed majesty.
I can hardly believe the email announcing that mine is
one of the 32 images selected out of 18,000!
I am ecstatic. The curator Evelyn
Hockstein says “its been a wild and exciting journey—editing the 18,000 images
of fantastic photographs of this diverse planet, from the tiniest insects to
great mammals to our oceans, weather, and majestic landscapes all across the
globe”.
It is exciting to get an email from National Geographic
informing me that my photo is trending on National Geographic. At last count I had more than 225 Likes! I am not sure where it will end up as the
likes are still coming.
Probably my most exciting photographic moment yet.
