Really cool aquatic bird. Bobs up and down in a little dance, and has an incredible song. Shot in Olympic NP.

Loving the wildlife this week. Joel's Mr. Bluebird is simply superb and is our winner. Tack sharp and very nicely isolated. Just awesome.

Congrats Kari!

Zach, for what it's worth I really like this bird image. Good light, nice background. The metal perch with a bit of rust is something different. Not my call, but worthy of moving on to a monthly vote...

Great stuff everyone. A few from my year.

Starting with a couple of low contrast long exposure images:

Great shots from everyone this week. Joel's Tufted Titmouse put a smile on my face, and that is our winner.

Zach, I also wanted to compliment you for the background bokeh in your shot, it's very...

Agreed, great shot. Congrats Kari!

Thanks for these. I love this community :cool:

Ok, so IQ appears identical to my eye. The focusing comment is really interesting, and certainly a smaller file has benefits. Thanks again, very...

Seeing some really impressive images here and will admit that the eye AF tracking and IBIS have me seriously considering an upgrade.

One thing that I am wondering about is the crop mode. Joel,...

Very powerful shot. Not a docile creature standing in a field, this beast makes me want to run for the hills.

Good luck Zach, this is going to be a tough week to judge.

Wow, thanks everyone. Tough competition top to bottom.

Congrats Kari! I really love this image.

Awesome shot Kari, love it!

Congrats Brant, great capture!

Oh yeah, these are great. #1 is a gem.

Chasing down a griz in the woods is the definition of insanity. I know it goes on, but still amazes me when I hear this stuff.

Really nice light on the barn wood.

A GBH that visits our neighborhood.

Wow, outstanding week!

With some captivating low light, BIF, and landscape images, we certainly weren't lacking in degree of difficulty.

It was hard picking a winner, but I ultimately went...

Thanks all, and congrats Kari! Strong group of photos for the month.

Thank you both. In great company as always.

Messing around with my new EF M adapter. I have to say that I'm fairly impressed. Using the LCD is little tricky at the equivalent of 640mm, but not as bad as I was fearing. I am definitely enjoying...
