Hi All:

We are pleased to announce the winners of July's Silhouette Theme. Special thanks to Nancy Bell who judged the July Theme. Bragging rights this month go to:

1st Place - Andreas Liedmann, "Giraffe in Velvia" - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...affe-in-Velvia

2nd Place - Steve Canuel, "Sunset Silhouette" - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...set-Silhouette

Congrats to Andreas, Steve and Mike!

We're pleased to announce that the September Theme will be "Close Ups." Post your close ups of animals or parts of animals (keep it clean please). Forum rules still apply. As always, please use the "Theme" prefix from the dropdown menu. Theme images will be critiqued just like other images and are eligible for IOTW honors.

In the meantime, keep posting your August Theme images of "Multiple Animals."

Rachel, Steve and Morkel
