Just been looking through the entries - there are so many great ones on there that I'm finding myself being extra critical to seperate them out.
Don't let it put you off, but also don't be surprised if I say something like 'This would have won it if the parrot in the background wasn't blinking'. **
You are the weekly King, so your words are supreme…
Best regards.

Dirk1000: look at it as either a reflection of the sun striking Dirk's face, or that he's reflecting on the beauty of the Tucuman countryside. Or both.
Your judge work had been nothing easy, but you did honors to George Lazarette critiques style.
Best regards.

I was waiting from the #3 weekly competition “Fire”, you won one of them.
All your images I saw were excellently well elaborated, and express also a very special taste for see the world.
And now please, for all the intrigued participants, can you translate the red legend for as?
Best regards.

What you need now is to stop it down to f11 to get a good DoF and sharpness in macro mode. You may need a flash though...
Best regards.

Not a good day for pictures. Overcastted and poor light.
Just some test images with the Sigma 70-300 lens.
Images just croped and resized.
I think is not bad at all…
The first macro...
A piece of texture (macro).
My everyday visitor out of focus...(at 300mm focal).
Another amicable bee.
Best regards.

Really I was not emotionally prepared for this great decision.
But must follow. Emotions aside, and a big thanks to Lilly.
The best reward for my work is that it was good interpreted. It comes from an inspiration of the real life. What I did is just interpret into an image what I see closing my eyes.
Thanks again, and congratulations to all the entrants…
Best regards.
