Hi All:

We are pleased to announce the winners of March's No Eye Contact Theme. I think we all showed that you don't always need eye contact to connect with the viewer. It was a tough month to judge with lots of entries. Thanks to our guest judge, Andreas Liedmann, for doing the honors. Bragging rights this month go to:

1st Place - Steve Torna, "Fairest Vixen" - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...-Fairest-Vixen

2nd Place - Keith Mitchell, "No Pictures Please" - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ictures-please

3rd Place - Carl Walker, "Hugs Brother" - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...2-Hugs-brother

Congrats to Steve, Keith and Carl!

We're also happy to announce that the May Theme will be another theme suggested by Gabriela and Andre, "Grooming." So get your images of animals grooming and cleaning themselves or each other ready for May. 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, let's start posting images for April's Theme "Predators".

Rachel, Steve and Morkel
