The winner of the WPOTY has just been announced: Essence of Elephants by Greg du Toit. (external link)

The rest of the winners, runners up and commendeds can be browsed here (external link). I need a bit more to digest them, but my initial reaction is that it's not it's strongest collection.

While may of these photos were taken 1D-Xs and D4s, It was also interesting how many of these photos were taken with 7Ds, D7000s and even a 550D (the 14 year old young photographer award winner shot his photo with a 550D and the 100-400L).

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Seven 7D photos to a single 1D-X. I can stop that lusting now! (I guess not enough people had shoot enough with the 1DX by the time submission opened in Jan.)

Am I the only one thinking about an analogy with the "Prometheus" movie, the holograms of the engineers running ?
