Editor's Pick Awards 2006

Another year of outstanding nature photography posted on the NPN website!
Each week over the course of the year, the NPN image critique gallery moderators make the selection for the best photo of the week in their respective galleries. These photos are then placed in the Moderators’ Picks Gallery, making them eligible for the yearly Editor’s Pick Awards. As was the case in previous years, picking these 24 photos from the 400 selected this year and displayed in the Moderators' Picks Gallery was no easy task.
Congratulations to this year's winners, and our sincere thanks to all of our members for your participation on NPN!
