Gawd they are good, we're almost to the point that throwing a dart is necessary.

Congrats to Jeff S - great photo and a deserving winner. Congrats also to tbob and Sangyu on their selections for second and third. Well done all, some great submission all around.

[Jeff S]

Thanks to everyone who voted for this photograph of my 95-year-old father. This is the first time I've placed in the top three in a monthly competition, so I am really honored. Congratulations to Sangyu and Trevor for their excellent photographs and to all who participated. As we all know, this competition is incredibly close every month with lots of fine work displayed. I figure this month it was the beard that did it. This will make my father's day...errr...his week. He's still going, albeit not as fast as in the past. Thanks again for the kind comments and votes.

Congratulations to Jeff and Sangyu. Excellent and riveting images. I am pleased to even rank near them.

The monthly competitions are getting quite fascinating with the variety and quality of the photos. Getting very hard to pick one our of the bunch.
