Ok all, 2:30am probably wasn't the best time to have to end the comp. However, a little late, the comp is now closed.

I'll pick a winner tonight when I finish work.

Thanks for all the entries!!!

[S7000]

And the winner is!!!

jdetmold

Congrats buddy! The balance of movement in the wings, and the sharpness in the face is the winner here! Great timing on that one!!! :)

I'm just on my way out, so I do have some honourable mentions, and will be placing 2nd and 3rd, but I just wanted to mention the winner so I don't hold up the comps too long.

Once again, congrats to jdetmold!

[FlyingPhotog]

Congrats Jeff

That's a fine Gull portrait!

[GregSteer]

Grats jdetmold - the expression is a classic!

[Kendoway]

Nice work Jeff, and congratulations!

Wonderful entries this time everyone!

[airfrogusmc]

[MSJGD]

[Kendoway]

^^^ That's a lovely shot too Jean-Guy.

Merveilleux!

[monty28428]

Congrats Jeff!

I enjoyed all the photos and interpretations on the subject! Way to go everybody!

[S7000]

Sorry about the delay all.

Second place goes to: sry407. I'm not 100% sure on what it is, but the lighting and the silhouette give it such a dark eerie feeling. Great work.

Honourable mentions to:

Goincarcrazy - Nice timing on a difficult subject.

lavanut: Lovely wasp with some very nice detail in that eye.

Once again, thanks for the entries, there were some great photos.

Finally, while I'm thinking about it, here's a link to this weeks comp. Clickety Click! (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=745138)
