Wow, I feel really honored – thanks folks!😀
I didn’t see this coming that September evening when I took my camera for a hike by a nearby lake.
(I chose to abstain from voting since my photo was...
Thanks for your kind words!
I’ve been crazy busy for a couple of weeks and haven't visited the forum since I posted the photo – it was a nice surprise to see it won the poll!😀

I really like all three contributions this week. Brant’s sunrise shot and Joel’s rainbow shot are both well executed shots of familiar and beautiful subjects – they both deserve a place on some wall...

I got the task to judge this week and actually I was able to pick my winner quite easily. The two that didn’t get my vote are by no means poor photos, but to me JW’s "Reddish Egret" is a clear winner...
It looks like last week’s submissions were kind of biased towards flying creatures ;-)
I think there are a few really good submissions, but the one that gets my vote is the "Staring Contest" by...

I live in the southern parts of Sweden and the nothern lights are...
Until Kari submitted the Orion image I was debating back and forth between two different kinds of bird shots. But then another image was submitted that took the lead (in my eyes) and stayed on top...

An oddly shaped rock carrying a lonely tree gets my vote this week. I really like how that part of the scene stands out though it’s still quite similar to the surroundings…congrats Minerve101!
When we decided to make a vacation trip to the Swedish west coast this summer I did some research on nice photo locations (you know it… "vacation trip" = "photographic excursion" ;)).
I found...
Congrats Kari, great photo!

Another tricky week to judge…the quantity may not be too high but the quality is. As I see it either of these shots could be the winner, but in the end I fell for the Party Crasher. At a first glance...
This guy and his crew helps fighting vegetation in my garden. Their favorites seem to be daffodils but they're not too picky - they eat basically whatever that grows. (Since I really suck at...
Thanks guys! …and congrats Kari!
