The Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009 Review

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009 at the Natural History Museum is the highlight of the museum visit calendar for me. It's got everything; skilful art, striking imagery, a vast portfolio and some of the best post exhibition tat on sale in the WPOTY '09 shop (that's not a silent "W" by the way, the exhibition is far from wpoty, or wpoo).

Unlike other reviews you might find, this one's not going to spoil everything for you. All I'm going to say is go to see it. It's ace. Fact!

With the winner's iconic double-take night shot, poignant photographic messages about the state of the worlds endangered wildlife and all of the amazing children's entries, it'll keep you entranced for hours, and then when you finally tare yourself away you can treat yourself to a 32 piece jigsaw of a puffin in freefall on a snowy, wind swept day (or something like that).

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards Exhibition 2009 opened at the Natural History Museum on the 23rd October 2009 and runs all the way through to 11th April 2010. Just enough time to get you intersted in entering your own effort for the 2010 competition. For news on the 2010 competition, visit the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009 website.
