I’ve had some feedback from the Wanderlust Travel Photo of the Year 2013 competition which was held last night at Earls Court in London.
The event included a presentation of each image in the show with input from Simon Calder, Senior Travel Editor of The Independent newspaper, and the editors of Wanderlust magazine.
Commenting on my images, they said, “We get many pictures from Inle Lake, even though it still quite a new destination. So often we trawl through them and see the same angles every time and hit delete.
This time, however, Mick really hit the spot. Beautiful lighting, clearly sought out the best times to visit the site and take the pictures. Shots all working really well together as a portfolio, each different but adding something to an over all story.”

I’m pleased to be able to tell you that I have been shortlisted for the Wanderlust Travel Photo of the Year competition. Organised by Wanderlust travel magazine, it is the UK’s biggest and best travel photo competition.
The finalists, whittled down from more than 8,000 entries, will be on display in a gallery exhibition at the Destinations Holiday & Travel Show at Manchester Event City from January 23rd – 26th and in London at Earls Court from February 6th – 9th. The winner of each of the four categories, Wildlife, Landscape, Travel Icons and People, will be announced on February 7th. If you happen to be in the UK at the time, pop along and see the show.
I was selected in the Travel Icons portfolio category with a set of five images from Inle Lake in Myanmar, one of which is shown above.
Competition will be stiff, so keep your fingers crossed.
