    Wow, there were so many excellent images for this weeks theme contest that choosing just one winner was a real challenge. Ultimately, http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ries-de-la-Mer by Dennis Bishop takes top honors. With skillful PP technique, excellent composition and overall execution Dennis created a soothing mood with this technically challenging subject. Inclusion of the human element put this one over the top. Congratulations!

    2nd place: http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ead.php/120211 by Jackie Schuknecht- Jackie created a lovely piece worthy of a wall hanging or printed cards. Soft, with delicate tones and textures this is another well executed image that comes in as a very close second place entry.

    3rd place: Tie. Both http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ead.php/120425 by Michael Gerald-Yamasaki and http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ead.php/120184 by Anita Bower provide a strong finish for this weeks theme. Colors, tones, effect and overall execution made choosing between them impossible.

    Congratulations to our winners, and all participants for an excellent OOTB showing, looking forward to the creativity that the next theme brings us!

    Congratulations to the winners--well done! I was surprised and delighted to tie for 3rd place. Thank you. I especially thank those of you who are willing to judge. I think that is a difficult task, one I'm not willing to undertake. There are so many wonderful images posted for each theme. Thank you all.
