I thought you might enjoy this with me. Especially since it was put on by a Science magazine (NewScientist) in England and the theme was light. (I think it won because of my explanation even more than the delight of the image.)
Here’s the page announcing my image that won a Photography Contest in London yesterday — http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/culturelab/2011/01/december-2010-photo-competition-winner-light.html
I realize the judging art is entirely subjective, nevertheless — I’m thrilled.

“It can’t be done” declared Don, the sage, well-respected, commercial fisherman who’s fished these British Columbia’s coast since a child, almost daily. He announced it, not so much an opinion, more as an unarguable fact, like gravity.
Waterfall, British Columbia (c) 2014 David Dilworth
His rock solid view of my proposed sailing expedition was echoed by every other local expert I posed it to: six offshore sailors, five fish-er-men, four commercial guides, three wildland rangers . . . (you get the idea)
What were they all so pessimistic about ?
Well, I love waterfalls !
So, determined to photograph Canada’s tallest waterfalls in a remote wilderness alluringly nicknamed “British Columbia’s Crown Jewel,” I’d sought advice from local experts about getting there. It turns out that due to the near vertical terrain, there aren’t any dirt back roads.
Worse, the “easiest” hikes take you through some serious Grizzly bear front-yards with lots of moms and cubs. (I only refer to these beloved megafauna due to their occasionally inconvenient sense of humor/lunch.) In addition —“There is no water along the trail and it is defended by legions of voracious bugs.”
Not to mention you need to climb off-trails – several five to six thousand foot rugged, near-vertical, glacier packed mountain passes. At the time that didn’t sound quite enough fun for me.
