Theme for this months contest was summer. As you can see, these three photos are good examples of what summer is all about in all of its glory!

Congratulations to the winners! As many of the comments said, it's difficult to choose as there were so many fantastic photos.

Thanks to all who participated and to all who voted!

1st place goes to Summertime Skies photo by moonshinegnomie


2nd place goes to Guardian of the Red Savina Habaneros photo by HAB911


3rd place goes to Waiting For A Bite photo by Grumpy Old Guy

I couldn't shoot any of those images if you sat me down in front of the subject and told me what to do. These would qualify for the Nat Geo photo contest.

Nice job DU. Be proud.

Thanks to all of the entrants; to Callalily for hosting, and to our moderator CaliforniaPeggy.

We have some very talented photographers here; their work involves more than technical skills and gear. Patience and a knack for composition and interesting subjects are priceless. Sometimes serendipity takes the prize.

I'm excited for the next contest!
