Thanks! And right back at you!

I saw the Rose Breasted Grosbeak at my feeder twice in April, never since, and I did not get a camera on them. So, nice to see such a good image of them.

When I have the privilege of being a judge, I make sure not to peek at the entries in advance. So just now I scrolled slowly through all these stunning images, mouthing a silent 'wow' at each of them. But when I got to Zach's "Jungle Noir" image the Wow came right out loud. His use of the lighting here is so creative, and I even like the bright spot on the left because I can imagine it being the source light for the foreground. The black and white rendering sealed the deal completely.

Congrats Zach for the win!

Congrats Zach.

Great image!

Congrats Zach! I really like film noir movies.
