Sorry about the late response, lets get into it!

3rd place: liljohnny51
Great capture of flight in motion.

2nd place: mikshayne
Wonderful silhouette.

1st place.....

NStocks!!!

Love this one. Seems that the colours differ quite a bit from post to attachment (see attached) so I thought it was a little bland at first look but when I opened it...bam! Attack of orange and green. Wonderfully small DOF and super detailed.

Well done!

Sorry about the short post but I've been busy and thought I had better get this in for you!

Thanks everyone for entering.

Congrats NStocks. It is an outstanding photo.


I don't know about anyone else, but I miss the more extensive C&C the judges had been making on each entry. We are doing this at the Fortnightly Challenge (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/754513/) and I would love to see this happen here as well.

Sorry about the short response!
If I had more time I would've gone into more detail.
I do agree with you though.
However I think we see a lot more C&C in the Fortnightly Challenge because everyone has a say. In the Weekly Photo Contest only one person has a say in what goes on, and that person might not necessarily have the confidence to extensively judge a contest.
It is nice to see some detailed reviews every now and again though.
