Sadly you can't. It's like voting for president. You can only vote for one. Oh wait, maybe it's not like voting for the presidency because you may not want to vote for any. Ha!

Well done to the finalists, all very good shots.

Congrats to the other two finalists and every one who participated in this weeks challenge. Good job by all!

Congratulations folks... Some great shots! Well deserved!

Well done blacktop.

Good job champ

@Blacktop Nice job there Pete. A beautiful capture. My question is: Where did you find a bird that looks so real to place in that tree. Ha!

The bird was not added to this shot. I was actually chasing this bird from another tree, where it landed on this bush. I didn't even shoot this with the purple challenge in mind, just a coincidence.
I know you didn't mean anything by your comment Walt, but some people get real touchy about this sort of stuff. I have included a link to the RAW file just in case anyone might have questions.

Pete. No I really didn't mean anything by it. I was just being my sarcastic self. I didn't even think of Photoshop. Ha! I was thinking plastic bird. LOL. The shot REALLY did come out great. Even my wife said so and she doesn't comment on too many pictures.

Actually @cwgrizz. @Blacktop gets his birds stuffed by our very own @wev. As you can see fromcthe photo they are always quite lifelike.
