Photo Competition for August 2017 - THE RESULT

I took time to get everybody's votes in, because it was a close fought battle write to the wire.

Eventually the winner won by one vote. Third place was only two votes behind 2nd place.

So:- ............................

Wow!
Probably would not have done much if there were more entries. In that respect perhaps pretty lucky.

Thanks everyone who voted for their support.

As usual pretty awesome and varied entries. Congrats Chris and Ashish.

[Jeff S]

Congrats to all three winning photographers. All worthy of the 'down-to-the-wire" finish.

[KimC]

Congrats to the winners!

Not at all. Yours is amazing - the patience and determination it must have taken to get exactly that moment (i know because I've tried!) and to get such a good picture of it. A worthy winner. Congratulations.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks Rachel. If you have been shooting terns, you know we have no say whatsoever in how they behave. We just have to hope for the best and sometimes (rarely) we just might get lucky.

It feels great to be in the top three. Congratulations Bobo and Chris. Fantastic images. Bobo, I've seen some great bird images from you and I know the patience and dedication it takes to make an image like this. Cheers!

[Bobobird]

Thanks Ashish. Appreciate your kind words.
