Well that’s a first – a three way tie!

From the 59 entries this month, 30 were selected for the voting booth.

Members cast a total of 121 votes.

Voting was always close but one entry just to say led the way for quite a while only to be caught on the last day of voting. It’s been the closest voting we’ve had yet. A late run on voting led to three entries all gaining 10/10 votes a piece.

Congratulations to -

Reader with ‘I can’t see you, so you can’t see me’

LisaW with ‘Camouflaged Predator waiting on Prey’

and new member

Wildside with ‘Tree-creeper sleeping’


As we have a tie all three winners will be moved to the competition winners forums in a few days after which details of the August theme will be posted.

Well that was a nice surprise. I saw that I was in the lead on Friday and couldn't believe it but didn't get chance to see the result until this morning.

Thanks to those that voted for my entry and congrats to those who share top spot with me. Also congrats to all those that took part anyway. There were some excellent photos in this months contest.

I haven't been able to get on for a few days, so this is a little late - thanks to all who took the time to vote. 121 votes sounds high (given the number of members it's low but high for comps.) There were some great photos that were submitted and the final 30 were all fantastic.
Thanks to everyone that voted for my photo and Congratulations to Reader and Wildside - it is an honor to share the top this month with both of you.
A BIG thank you to Ian and the moderators for taking the time to monitor and do all necessary for the competitions.

Thanks Sandra. Thankfully my back seems to have rectified itself over the last two weeks so now I can get myself out again.
