I’m happy to announce that the international Jury of TPOTY (Travel Photographer of the Year) competition 2011 has chosen :
- my images of Diving under the Ice as Winner in the category Spirit of Adventure Portfolio ;
- my image of Beluga whale and Diver as Winner in the category Spirit of Adventure Best Single Image;
- my split image of Fresh water spring with Fishes as Commended in the category Wild Moments.
This photo contest is run by photographers for photographers and the Jury is composed by international world famous professional photographers and leading photography experts. For this reason I’m proudly honoured to have been selected as winner in two different categories.
The winning images of this year’s awards will be exhibited at the Royal Geographical Society’s Kensington gallery during July and August, in the lead up to and during the 2012 London Olympic Games.
The Society gallery is situated close to Hyde Park on the newly pedestrian Exhibition Road, adjacent the Science, Royal Victoria & Albert Hall, and Natural History Museums.

Dear Franco,
Congratulations on winning the photo competitions. The level of competition is so high, that it takes superlative, almost magical photography to achieve it.
Thank you so much for sending this email with the links, I had no idea there was such extraordinary photography that I could see.
Regards,
Eve (from Polar Pioneer Feb 2011)
