It has been a tremendous competition this month and a hearty thanks to every who participated and for all of you who voted.
The talent on display has been tremendous with some really outstanding images being shared. All the photography on display offered something special, but as with all competitions there can only be one winner, and it is the frog what won it!!

(7,833 posts)That is my final word. Except that some were a hair better than others, but the ones that were a hair worse weren't really. Yes, that's what I think.

Terrific hosting, Soph0571. Thank you!
And just a marvelous collection of photos this month.
We do still need TWO more hosts for the June and December contests. Both are seasonal (Spring in June and Autumn in December). If anyone would like to volunteer to host, just either shoot me a DU mail or indicate you'd like to volunteer on this thread

Talitha
(6,613 posts)But first, thank you to all here at DU who host, participate in, and vote in these photo contests. We are truly blessed to have such a wide range of talented artists here!
About the photo - TBH, it was pure luck. I was going out to take a picture of the bush that's blurred in the background when I heard them... yes, there were 2 of them inside the wind chimes' pipes, and it sounded like they were having a contest of their own to see whose chirp would produce the most appealing echo. Those little Frogs have been very co-operative subjects throughout the years - gotta love 'em!
