Winners!
This week saw a rise in entries, Macro photography it seems was very popular and the winners I picked were due to the level of detail in the shot and the artistic flair of the photo.
1st Place
In first place winning $13 sbd is...... @pentjosh
Winning this week were these photos of a caterpillar. I chose this over all the pictures this week because the level of detail in the pictures is stunning, right down to the tiny hair fibres and colour vibrance, that is why this was my winning entry.
2nd Place
In second place winning $4 sbd is....
@macrophotography
This photo caught my eye again for its stunning level of detail, every part of this wasp can be seen in a level of detail you won't see when they are buzzing around you annoying you.
3rd Place
In 3rd place this week winning $3 sbd is.... @gardenbsquared
When I looked through all the entries this photo caught my eye as something that is rarely seen and in amazing detail right down to the eyes of the insect and catching it mid flight as it landed showed some great photography, patience and skill.
Thank you
That concludes my winners for week 9 it took me a very long time to deliberate on which three entries I was going to pick and there were many more I could have just as easily picked and many many photos worthy of winning a contest in there!.
