Michelle Pearson from Hibiscus Coast Photographic Society is our February winner!
Michelle, congratulations on your winning image – Showing off my catch!
Michelle says:
The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is probably my favourite place to photograph birds of prey.
On a very disappointing photographic day, while heading back to camp late in the afternoon, I suddenly noticed a Black-shouldered Kite perching on a branch with it’s back towards me. I stopped and got my camera ready, hoping it would turn around at some point and give me a better pose.
Suddenly the bird decided to turn around and I noticed it had just caught a mouse! During the few seconds it turned around and flew off to a lower perch, I managed to capture this lovely image of the bird with a clear shot of the face of the mouse as well in the lovely afternoon light.
Our 1st runner-up is Nico Hattingh from Springs Photographic Club with “Purple Swamphen”
Our 2nd runner-up is Louis Helberg from Westville Camera Club with “Ouch!””
Thank you to the judges:
Martin Kellerman – George Camera 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 Senior Club Competition Winner of the Month, a club representative (ideally the Chairperson) submits the Senior club winner via Photovault at www.photovaultonline.com.
Instructions on how to upload your entry onto Photovault can be downloaded here
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.
