We are happy to announce the winner of the first Photo of the Month competition, Nikos Boukas-Anestis, for his great shot of a Wood-Sandpiper: Congratulations!

1st Place: Nikos Boukas-Anestis

2nd Place: Nikos Fokas

Well, I'm not going to congratulate myself, but thanks to all who voted for my photo anyway!

3rd Place: Felix Rehsteiner

First of all, we'd like to say a big THANK YOU to all the people who have participated, with their great wildlife photos, their votes, their friendly comments, or with all together!!!

It was the first edition of the Photo of the Month for everybody, so things did not always go as smoothly as wished with the voting, but finally I think we managed to come through with a fair system - which focuses on electing the best photos instead of the photographer who has the most friends. Our voting system needs to be refined still in the future, but in general it has worked well this first time.

We are also thinking of introducing animal categories in the future, but need to see first how the participation will be in the next two month. If there are enough animals for categories such as reptiles and insects, we might split the photos up into catgories, in order to make the voting easier.

Therefore: we need your participation, not only now, but in the future, too!

Thanks to all, and happy shooting for Semptember!
