I think in this competition specifically, I went more for the actual theme of the comp and went for the one that best struck me as the most natural representation.
 
Birds and Man (made objects)

I think the title of the competition has led to some confusion. The description that prompted my entry was "birds interacting with man made objects", or some similar wording. It hadn't occured to me that birds interacting with people was equally acceptable.
 
Congratulations to almar with his entry P10905631 of a heron stood beside a fisherman holding a rod. I must admit it got my vote as well, as much for the composition and juxtaposition of the heron and fisherman as anything. His entry attracted 83/312 votes cast.

Second place went to s_linste with his entry entitled Great Grey Owl on tripod which must be one of those once in a lifetime shots surely! Anyway it was a great opportunity well taken. His entry attracted 39/312 votes cast.

Third placed was Marysan who has been well placed in several competitions has previously won two of them. Her entry this month was Terns and More Terns a shot that could easily have been taken in my area where industry and birds exist side by side. Her entry attracted 25/312 votes cast.

There were several very worthy entries submitted both in respect of theme interpretation and technical quality. No one was a loser.

A big thank you to everyone who took the time to enter and to view the entries and cast your vote.

The entries will be left in place for a few days after which they will be moved to their appropriate geographical forums. Details of the July theme challenge will then follow.

Great way to fish!

I like the picture of the heron with the guy fishing. That is one smart bird. . . .it's like he is thinking "wait until the guy catches something for you" :eat: !
 
Congratulations almar a fantastic shot, my choice as the winner, the composition is perfect. Well done!
Congratulation also to s_linste 2nd place and Marysan third two excellent entries.
