Congratulations to kenh571, the winner for our first week of the 30 Days of Photos contest, for his shot above titled “Great Egret Preening.” We loved the bright blue sky contrasted with the beautiful white bird in this shot. And the egret’s pose is simply stunning. What an amazing capture. Thanks for submitting this one, kenh571!

Congratulations also to our runner-up, budding_photographer, for her great capture of a pineapple. We really love the interesting perspective and the rich colors. Great job, budding!
