3. Shucks

Thanks everyone. :hi: The competition this month was fierce! After I submitted mine I took some time to look closely at the other entries and felt...out of my league, and that's not false modesty.

The real winner is ConsAreLiars who ran a flawless contest.

Are we still operating under the rules that the winner hosts the next contest?

5. Now that it's over I can admit I voted for yours.

Early on, before every one else copied me. :P HOnestly, though, it was truly a stunning photo, GOPF. Very deserving of winning. Congrats!

And, yes, it's my understanding that the winner hosts the next contest or finds a proxy host if you can't do it. And I think it still stands that whoever hosts can't enter the contest, but that may not be true anymore.

I'll be putting your photo up on Demopedia in a week or so, after my visiting relatives leave and I have the time. If you have a problem with your photo going up, let me know and it shan't be done, O Winner o' th' Month.

8. Thanks intheflow

No problem with posting the photo on Demopedia. Quite honored really.

Guess I better get cracking on next month's contest. I think I'll make the theme something like "macrophotography of insects native to Madagascar's southern region" :rofl:

I'll be asking you all for advice about next month's contest in the near future.

...what were the technical specs of that photo? Lens, f-stop, etc.? Film or digital?
