Winner and Finalists of Assignment 18 - Birds

This week we got a bit closer to our feathered friends. From pet birds to waterfowl to raptors, our members shot it all. Along the way we learned valuable lessons - like remembering to always watch for crocodiles and overly aggressive geese.

The winner for assignment Birds is Bevan Ward for his wonderful image of a Kookaburra eating a lizard!

Remember that winner and finalist image gallery is set up in a slightly different format than previous galleries. To navigate between images just click "next" under the current image on the page or scroll down for a listing of images. Be sure to spend some time enjoying the rest of the bird entries in the forum as well. A new addition is that this week there will be some more feedback on other images in addition to the winner and finalist images. Don't forget that you can still share your own bird images too.
