The theme this month was 'Birds and Water'.

In all honesty I'd have thought the voting would have been closer with so many top notch entries this month. Early on in the voting three entries were vying for the lead but it wasn't long before one shot ahead of the rest.

150 members cast their vote this month.

First place by a good lead goes to

AndyByron with Fighting Grebes with 41/150 votes :t:

Second place -

Akihaka with New Day attracting 17/150 votes.

Third place -

raulqc with King rail and reflection attracting 15/150 votes.

Congratulations to the winners :t:

The entries will remain in place a few days before being moved to their respective forums.

While all the photos were very good, I think the "decisive moment" in the action made Andy's shot the winner. Congrats to all.

Thanks very much for all the kind comments (and especially the votes!:t. I was surprised by the way the voting went. The quality of the entries was amazing and I definitely expected it to be a really close vote. Congratulations to everyone - there really wasn't a bad shot amongst them. I particularly liked the more artistic shots - something I'm hopeless at!

PS: There are some more shots from the same sequence on my gallery at my gallery
