August Photo competition votes

I loved looking at all the pictures and found it very difficult to choose but here goes.
1. Nik's dragonfly (because they are so difficult to capture)
2. Pete 2255's butterfly (because they are difficult to capture and I loved the great colours)
3. Steve B's squirrel (it's so cute!)

 

Very difficult to choose as there were several more I would like to have nominated. But here is my selection -

1st. Pete2255 - Peacock Butterfly -so colourful


2nd. Nathan - Spider- ugh! I hate spiders and
this one was so BIG.


3rd. Rich - Bunnie - aaaah, poor bunnie.

another summer month over, great photo's by everone, it's so hard to pick just 3, but here goes
3RD Yellow Ladybird on Camellia leaf by Nik,
great contrast and a pretty insect

2ND Peacock butterfly by Pete2255,
very nice colours

1ST The Spider by Nathan,
very sharp and clear.

 

1,Rich's garya...just like the hang of it

2, Petes butterfly.... caught spot on

3, Michaelmasdaisy's pussy.... caught in the act

 

Very very difficult.

1st Pete2255,Butterfly:Beautifully"deceptive",as nature intended.

2nd Michaelmasdaisy,Cat:Peace,purrrfect peace.

3rd Marley Farley,Faries?:The mystery of gardens.

 

1st Charlies "2nd hover fly on petunia". Printed on A4 and laminated, it would make another wonderful placemat on the BBQ table. :D Cheesy I know.

2nd Pete2255s "Frog". It looks so damp it sets my shoulder off.

3rd Marleys "This was on my hebe". What big eyes its got.

Nik

 

Just thought it worth mentioning but the yellow ladybird on camellia leaf is from me Charlie not Nik

 

i made a mistake, silly old me i put 3RD on Yellow ladybird by nik, it should by yellow ladybird by Charlie, sorry Charlie

Not easy as there are so many of insects on flowers, but I suppose thats to be expected. Wish someone might have come up with a badger or something a bit less common. Not complaining mind :D
for me 1st. Steve b, squirrel, looks almost real. :D
2nd.Nik, dragonfly pic no 3 very clear pic. of a very mobile subject.
3rd.Marley Farley, bee/hoverfly on hebe you can almost makeout its tongue, dipping into the flowers.
I think thats my final choice :confused: :D

 

Very difficult and am torn between some of them but for me:

1. Pete2295 toad - the detail and sharpness of the pictures was tremendous - even to the brightness of eye

2. Charlies hoverfly (2nd one I think) - again the detail on the insect was sharp and the background petunia petal shading was lovely.

3. Pete2295 peacock - again for the clarity of the insect and I know only too well how difficult it can be to get a shot with the wings open

Twas tough, as there were some great and some unusual pictures. If this is the standard for August -god help us all in September :D ,

 

Charlie and Steve B
Thanks for putting that right. I couldn't remember taking that photo, but I scoured my files for an hour in case :D
