This time for the ZSL Animal Photography Prize: You’ll pobably recognise most or all of them, though I’ve made a few minor adjustments to most. I’ve also started using 500px – find me at http://500px.com/simonphotos/

Thanks all for your suggestions! Here are the 20 photos that made the cut. Now we wait to hear from the judges…
I’ve done the easy bit – sifting 3000 photos down to 88 that I think have competition potential. Now comes the hard part. I need to get from 88 photos I like down to 20 (for Wildlife Photographer of the Year), then down to 6 (for the ZSL Animal Photography Prize). And I’d like your…
Photos from our last stay in Madagascar – Vakona Lodge, and the Andasibe rainforest. It’s also where we went to Lemur Island, which provides a safe and natural, though not entirely free, home for ex-pets and their descendants.

I’m finally (!) editing the 3000-odd photos we brought back from Madagascar, and trying to spot the ones I might put into next year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year. No real hope of getting placed, but I’ve made it to the semis before,…
