We were in the Khwai Conservancy in Botswana during the September school holidays. We found the Wattled Cranes on our side of the river. I got out off the vehicle and crawled until I was lying flat on my stomach next to the river and took photos of the birds. A Lapwing started annoying them and they flew off. I was then fortunate enough to get this image. Taken with a Canon5DS and a 100-400mm Lense

Our 1st Runner-up is Sonja Olivier from Edenvale Photographic Club with “Ruffled Feathers”

Our 2nd Runner-up is George Stevens from Pretoria Photographic Society with “Reaching Out”

Thank you to the judges:

Haig Fourie – Vanderblylpark Fotografiese Vereniging.
Nicci van As – Independent
Muriel Joubert – Randburg Photo Club

HOW DOES THIS COMPETITION WORK?

This is a PSSA monthly competition where clubs enter their monthly Senior winner onto Photovault. Appointed judges select the winning image. The monthly winner gets displayed on the home page of our Web site for the duration of the month.

For the Junior Club Competition Winner of the Month, a club representative (ideally the Chairperson) submits the Junior club winner via Photovault at www.photovaultonline.com.

Click here to download instructions on how to upload your entry onto Photovault

All images must be original and must not incorporate elements produced by anyone else. By virtue of submitting an entry, the clubs must certify all the work in the entered image as their club member’s own. The PSSA Director of Competitions has the right to ask for the RAW files.

Frequently we do require high resolutions of these images as PSSA use them for Print Exhibitions to promote PSSA as well as showcasing the work being done around the country.

At the end of the PSSA calendar year (30 June of each year) the Senior Club Competition Winning Image of the Year is selected.
