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.

Well done. Super shots. I hope that I can start some macro photography soon. I will have to start with static subjects. Focusing on moving insects is pretty tricky I expect.
