Well I’m back from a great but rather damp camping weekend & can now slightly belatedly announce the results of the April Competition.

Joint 1st place goes to my goodselves for the photos of the ciccada shedding it’s skin & the jabiru with the snake, both with 15 votes. Thank you to all.

In second place with 12 votes is Fracster’s great shot of the deer. Sharp & cute at the same time.

In joint third place very close behind with 11 votes each are ‘TPC’’s action shot of the goannas & ‘SonOf’s’ atmospheric shot of the Red Bellied Black snake.

Again well done to the winners & to everyone who put in an entry. The results this month highlight just how different aspects of photos can appeal to you the judges. My winning entries and TPC’s winning entry are clearly ‘right place at the right time’ shots, whereas Fracster’s winning entry encapsulates photographic ‘quality’ as well as subject matter - & no doubt the all important post picture taking selection process. SonOf’s winning entry shows great ‘composition’.
Well that’s my somewhat amateur interpretations anyway ....... we all have our own criteria for picking the winners of these comps ......... & that’s as it should be.

I’ll post the May comp later this evening.
