******* Augustus Competition Official Entries ******

[UKBob]

NOTE to everyone, that the deadline will be wednesday 30th August at 12pm lunchtime - and NOT the 31st!

No discussion, only one submission each (as is tradition)
Small prize for the winner (lets make this tradition too)
Small prize for best camel toe or flange submission

The theme was to submit a photo which evoked an emotional connection to or resonance with our world, its inhabitants, or majestic environments.

A "lesser" photo may do well, if the emotional impact it has is greater. You all have my apologies in advance, given that my emotions are deciding who wins and who diesnt - this competition was biased from the start.

Hey Cossie.

Being the official competition "entries" thread, you can only submit one photo per person for the competition. You could chuck them both on the other thread though. It might be helpful for the 56k users if you resized them down to 750 pixels too. Nice pics

Barn Owl in flight

Thats a stunning capture. How did you manage to get the shot/lighting. Its so good in fact, Id find it hard to believe it wasnt taken in a special wind tunnel for owls

[UKBob]

Im so organised an in control of myself, I didnt realise this was the official entries no chat thread

Think the barnowl shot deserves explanation anyway, so...

CVP - that is one STUNNING shot.

I only dream of getting one single shot like that.

I only dream of one day meeting someone who knows someone else who has taken one single shot like that. Its extraordinarily good.
