Congratulations to last months competition winners and a big thank you to everyone who took part.
In first place with 16 votes was @pc45 with his epic star trails shot.
In second place with 10 votes was @Rhinodad with his stunning SpaceX launch of the Crew-8 mission on a Falcon 9 rocket from pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center.
In joint third place with 8 votes was @Brian Scantlebury and his beautiful shot of the Ketetahi Stream in Tongariro National Park, New Zealand.
Also in joint third place with 8 votes was @dav1d with his beautiful seabird in flight.
Theme
For this month the theme is animals. So this could be pets (yours or someone else’s), animals in the wild or captive animals.
Here’s Cambridge’s definition and of an animal: “a living thing that can move and eat and react to the world through its senses, esp. of sight and hearing: Mammals, insects, reptiles, and birds are all animals. In ordinary use, animal means all living beings except humans: A lion is a wild animal, and a dog is a domestic animal.”
Competition Dates
Entries start: The date that this post is published.
Entries end: April 20th at 3am Eastern Time (9am GMT)
Voting starts: April 20th at 3am Eastern Time (9am GMT)
Voting ends: April 27th at 3am Eastern Time (9am GMT)
Shot Taken Date
Only submit images taken during the current and previous two months. The metadata including date must be included in the uploaded image.
What Do I Get if I Win?
1st Place - The first place winner will receive a $30 (US dollar) voucher for Amazon.
2nd Place - The second place winner will receive a $20 (US dollar) voucher for Amazon.
3rd Place - The joy of taking part.
There are no alternative prize or cash options, so if you are unable to accept an Amazon voucher I'm afraid you will miss out on the prize. If your local currency is something other than US dollars then the above amounts will be converted based on the exchange rate at the time. In the event of a draw the prizes will be split.
How to Enter + Rules
Our themes for the year have already been decided to give you a heads-up on what's coming next.
I'd really appreciate feedback about how the competition is running but please don't post it in this thread. Instead please post any feedback in this thread in the Feedback Forum.
Thank you for participating and good luck!
