Koot Marais from Bloemfontein Kameraklub is our March winner!
Koot, congratulations on your winning image – Leopard lick

Koot says:
Over the years I have been very unlucky with leopard sightings in the Kgalagadi, but in December 2024 on the first morning of our trip, I found this leopard at 6:20 drinking at Kwang to the north of Nossob.
Normally, the light direction is quite difficult at Kwang, but in this instance this allowed me to take interesting backlit portraits.
Taken with a Canon R5 with a 600mm f4 lens, 1/1250 seconds at ISO 500.
Our 1st Runner-up is Cathy Birkett from Knysna Photographic Society, with “Evening Light”

Our 2nd Runner-up is Shirley Gillitt from Westville Camera Club with “Veil dancing”

Thank you to the judges:
Leon Drotsky – Ermelo Fotoklub
Johan Jordaan – Bloemfontein Kameraklub

HOW DOES THIS COMPETITION WORK?
This is a PSSA monthly competition where authors enter their own image onto Photovault. Appointed judges select the winning image. The monthly winner gets displayed on the home page of our website for the duration of the month.
Entries for the website competition are entered by the authors themselves 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 entrants certify the work as their 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 uses 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 Website Competition Winning Image of the Year is selected.
