Was award-winning wolf wild or a model?
Wildlife photographer stripped of prize in the Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year Contest for shot of leaping critter.
Spanish photographer Jose Luis Rodriguez says his photo shows a wild Iberian wolf. But organizers of a wildlife photography competition in which the image was entered say the animal was trained. Read about this sad disagreement at the msn site.
News of the competition itself is at the bbc website where these other winners are featured:
Fergus Gill, who was 17 years old when he entered the competition, won this year’s Young Photographer of the Year award for his picture of a brief but dramatic clash between two of the colourful UK songbirds.
With the help of his feisty cat, Igor Shpilenok won the Urban and Garden Wildlife category with the third image.
