Best of luck to all.

Congrats on a great shot Stibbs, although I'm glad I was at the other weather extreme. I prefer warm to Bitey Cold :P

Thanks John. There were some stunning pics this time around. Makes me even more proud. First time I've ever won a photo comp. It got very exciting the last day when the buttongrass and mist caught up for a while.

Thanks! I agree on the Redbanks. I really liked the Lord Howe too. And the surf shot had had a real wow factor IMO

Congratulations Stibb.
It was a great shot of the Snowy Range.

Amongst a bunch of very good photos there were some very iconic contributions this month
- the simple grandeur of Burning Season - Kakadu, the wall of water and the light show are all stunning works of art.

ILUV - a friend wanted to know exactly where your Buttongrass and Mist was taken from?

Well done to the winner and everyone else, great collection of photos. Don't know how I managed to pick this month for my first entry.

Thanks everyone! Hey tsangpo, this was my first entry too, never thought I would win. I'm almost inappropriately stoked. One of my favs was your Lord Howe picture!
