Inspiring: raises the bar
Mostly, I'm delighted to discover Amazon.co.uk was able to get me this book quickly (for only a couple extra dollars: US$32.12 including shipping & currency conversion) when Amazon.com (USA) inexplicably could not (ordered prepublication 10/08; after three delays I sought another source in 2/09)! My wife and I are photographers and she has collected the set from portfolio...

This review is from: Wildlife Photographer of the Year: Portfolio 18 (Hardcover)
I've purchased several of these BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Portfolios over the past several years, I would say the overall quality of the images in this particular volume is relatively weak. Some fine images to be sure, but there are few in this edition that really jump off the page. I'm a wildlife and nature photographer myself, and been somewhat successful on a small scale, and I do spend a great deal of my non-shooting time looking at this type of photography, and feel I have a somewhat disciplined evaluation ability, and am suprized at the number of images in this book that are little more then average. The series is a fantastic series of books on nature photography but this edition is at best weak. Choose another volume before purchasing this one.

My wife and I are photographers and she has collected the set from portfolio #1. What a wonderful and inspiring collection it is. Otherwise, I can only second the other 5-star reviews (see <Amazon.co.uk>). So, if you have trouble getting this item at a good price, you might try Amazon.co.uk.
