Realy hard choice between 3 for me. But I think one does have the initial wow factor. Well done to everyone who submitted.

Thank you for sharing these. The
pictures are absolutely beautiful.
I have a hard time to decide, really.
It seems to me to be narrowed down
to about 4 or so. In fact, have to go
back and look at them all again. The way I viewed
them became a bit confusing.

I enjoyed all of them.

PS.. How does one find out who
did what picture? Just wondered.

Select any of the two 'view in thumbnails' options. There is a small table below each picture and the name of whoever took it is next to 'member'.
 
And the winner is - Jenygard with 'Touching'

A very good interpretation of this months theme ' Birds and water' with a Swallow swooping down to the calm water surface for drink/insect and creating a superb reflection too. 'Touching' attracted 59/362 votes cast.

Congratulations to Jenygard :clap:

Also deserving mention are second placed jakobs with 'A Running Start' a photo of a Harlequin duck taking off which attracted 44/362 votes,

and

third placed Keoeeit with The Gurple Pallinule having attracted 39 votes.

Thank you also to everyone who submitted and entry and also everyone who took the time out to view the entries and cast your vote.
 
Brazilian Black-crowned Night-heron

The photo of the Black-crowned Night-heron which Fabio took is what I'm choosing as my favorite. All the others are beautiful photos too.
