Weekly #514 Green With Envy Competition

Sorry for the delay everyone.

Here is my top 3.

1st Western tatras
Stunning vista.
A place and a photo I definitely wish I had been there and shot.
you can see forever
and I cant quite work out what was at an angle you the camera or the mountains judging by the sky.
Well done fanatic shot.

2nd Very rare tree Climbing lion
not technically perfect but who cares when you bag a photo of something like that.
I bet very few people will ever get to see or be as close as you were taking that photo.

3rdGreen Bottle
As someone who has just recently started macro photography a green bottle with that much detail is no mean feat. you must have the patience of a saint.

Honourable Mention to Yong Green Gooseberries fantastic detail.

Many Many thanks to everyone who took the time to post a photo.
Very sorry I couldn't comment on them all I would of liked to but due to work this week this is all I could manage in my lunch hour.

over to you. mag07

A superb winning shot and great runners up.
Well done folks and thank you Woz!

All the best.

There were a pile of great shots in this competition (a pile which excludes mine), and a saint/photographer/judge would have been hard-pressed to choose three of the best. But for what it is worth, wozfromcov's choices sit very well with me. Thanks for a thoughtful and speedy job!

No arguments with that choice of winner, its FAB! Congratulations Mag07-Also wish I was there to take a shot like that! And extended to Vic Cross and Dromfit, and the HM GlynM, Wonderful challenge, as always a delight to the eye, such variety too! Thanks Wozfromcov, for the challenge and the judging. No sweat on not commenting on all the entries-work and life gets in the way, and more important anyway!

Superb winning shot, a landscape to die for. Congratulations to Magdalena. Well done wozfromcov for the competition and judging, and to everyone who took part.

Thanks so much. Loved the 'green with envy' idea Congratulations to all the winners and everyone else for fabulous shots.

It's one of my favourite places that I visit often whenever I am back home. The reason the sky is not straight is because I used the 55-300mm lens and had trouble trying to fit everything I wanted into the composition. I was also on a slope myself.

Thank you again. Will post a new competition soon.

Thanks for the second place. It's nice to know I can please people with my photos. also it means the burden of judging next weeks comp. falls to Mag. Well done to all the others. there's some wonderful shots there this week.
CHEERS vic.

Many thanks Warren for setting a great subject and the excellent judging.

Thanks also for the Honourable Mention

Congratulations to Magdalena for the well deserved win, the runners up and everyone else for a grand set of green images.

Great competition subject... pulling some fantastic shots.... thanks. And thanks for a place....
Congrats to Mag'OO7'.... great shot at a crazy angle;
congrats also to my fellow podia holder Vic....and GlynM [HM]....
I particularly liked John Riley's pic... and JAK's.

As for the Macro shot... I wasn't using any special equipment... just my trusty "PENTAX Optio WG-2"....
which, along with my Pentax Papilo binos are with me all the time....
the PENTAX Optio WG-2 has a ring light and a close focus distance of 1cm....
and I think it has amazing quality for a "point and shoot"....
it never says what setting it was on, but I suspect the 1cm Macro...
in which case the ring-light would have been on.
