  When I opened YouTube this morning I was excited to see your video was posted! Then I nearly DIED when realized that my photo was the videos thumbnail!<br>It is a true honour to be included, let alone be awarded GOLD for my &quot;Not a Bird&quot; baby raccoon photo!!<br>Plus, being showcased in the birds in flight section as well for my black terns!<br>What a great collection of images submitted by everyone, fantastic work! That must have been an incredibly difficult task to comb through!<br><br>Thank you Duade for this opportunity and for your time creating a great community project!<br>Looking forward to an amazing 2026! <br>Cheers Duade!

  I literally shouted out in surprise when I saw you selected my photo! I’m honored and humbled for that photo to be selected for the Gold award for the Small Subjects in Habitat category and the Silver Award overall! <br>The joy, connection to nature, and the dedication to photography is so apparent in every image that you presented Duade. I am inspired and motivated by all the wonderful work. Thank you Duade, and thank you to all the photographers in this community for sharing such spectacular work. I’m blown away!
