Fortnightly Salon Competition No 25 - Two of a Kind

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No 25 - Two of a Kind

Two baby tortoises and their mummy. It's amazing they survived actually, because the mum and dad are two different types of tortoise, the mum also has a lot of shell damage from being kicked around by someone (we rescued her) and when the eggs were laid, we didn't even have a proper vivarium for them. So I'm glad they're both healthy.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No 25 - Two of a Kind

Firstly thank you all for making my task very hard. This salon has produced so many good images that I had to enlist the help of my wife to select a short list. As this is a FUN Salon we tried to make our selection with total disregard to technicalities and judge the entries on pure personal taste. So no critique write up.
I personally was finding it very hard to separate First and second but then a late entry relieved me of this problem. I have now placed those two entries as joint second.

So here we go:-

Third place goes to SPL.

Joint second to Pewidane and Andrew Thatcher. (Still can't make my mind up about these).

First goes to Changeling for a superb image of the Brown Pelicans.

Well done everyone who didn't make the short list.

Over to you Changeling for the next Salon.

Yay, well done Changeling! It was an amazing picture.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No 25 - Two of a Kind

Congratulations Changeling on winning the salon with your entry of a great shot of brown penguins. I've found it quite difficult to photo birds in full flight. Well done!

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No 25 - Two of a Kind

Holy Cow, thanks to Ron and the Mrs, had to be a difficult decision with all the excellent entries.

So there's no time like the present to practice and hone your skills.
Shutter speeds up!! I would like everyone to enter your best "Birds(or bird) in flight" photograph for the next Salon Competition.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No 25 - Two of a Kind

First of all I would like to add my Congratulations. I called my husband in last night to have a look at your entry. I just thought it was amazing. So,IMO, a very well deserved winner; when you posted those pelicans, there was no contest!

AND

OMG in 30,000+ images I can't ever remember taking a bird in flight.

ALSO

Many congrats to Pewidane, Andrew Thatcher and SPL

Nice theme - though I'm not sure any of us can come up to your superb standard with it.

Can you manage to start a new thread ok with the theme title and rules?

Just copy/paste the rules from lumix's original post, edit the theme title to yours (Birds in Flight) and alter the closing date to suit yourself. Approximately a fortnight - give or take a day or two either side if you wish.

Just shout if you need any help and Ian, Stephen Ben or I will help.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No 25 - Two of a Kind

Very well done Charles - not an easy pic to take. I also thoroughly enjoyed the creativity in Peders and Andrews pics and so many more as well. Feel very flattered to be chosen for a place on this one.
cheers
