Please help decide the winner of the first PRIZE competition of the year. We have a pair of top of the range ZEISS Victory 8x32 FL binoculars up for grabs as supplied by our sponsor Carl Zeiss Sports Optics.

The top 20 entries after members voting will be submitted to Carl Zeiss where a panel of experts will judge the winning photograph.

The winning photograph will be published and used by Carl Zeiss.

By entering, all entrants will agree that Carl Zeiss Sports Optics has exclusive and unlimited use of the winning photograph in all their communications and that Carl Zeiss will have access to the original image format in order that it can be reproduced as per their specifications.

This is your opportunity to decide which entries make the final cut.

We have 95 qualifying entries this month with a wide variety of wildlife subjects from around the world.

Entries can be viewed as -

1. Slideshow

2. Thumbnails in reverse order of voting booth

3. Thumbnails alphabetically

The voting booth will remain open for seven days.

Best of luck everyone :t:

Again it is very difficult to choose.

I have looked at the pictures once and sofar I have about 25 favourites, so I will have to look several times more and then try to decide.

I am in the same boat. I wish we could pick top 3.
 
Yep! I have spent a good few hours on working on this evening and even I still haven't decided a favourite. I got it down to 12 and then thought I'd sleep on it before deciding.
 
Gosh ! the standard is high - I've got about a dozen possibles too - will have to scan a few more times before I make my mind up.
 
I just noticed there are two entries with the exact same title - Great Gray Owl. Voters could be confused over which one they are voting for. I could change the title of my entry, or perhaps the voting booth labels could be changed to "Great Gray Owl - flying" and "Great Gray Owl - perched." Glen

Sorted now and for the Blue Tits :t:
 
Well done everyone impossible to make final choice without sticking a pin in. Damn what is that chip on my monitor ;)
 
Yes, I totally agree that this was extremely difficult. I narrowed it down to 23, and carefully eliminated them one by one. Of course, that took ages.

Well done everyone who entered, they were all brill!

Fantastic photographs by all. :clap:

Now I see what I have to aspire to :eek!:

Tough job ahead for Carl Zeiss and co.

Not until the first round of voting is complete at 22.28 hrs on Friday 18th March.

It would be unfair to include comments before then as they may influence the voting.
 
wowie

Great shots all--thanks so much for the show!! Had to simply go on first gut instinct to choose, but wish I could have chosen some backups too. Made me want to go straight out back to my woodland backyard and start shootin' em up....In fact, bye! That's what I'm a gonna do!

Thanks again! :clap: :clap:
