[Nicci]

Then vote for me.
Mine was taken with an off the shelf camera and no editing, aside from the size.

done.

 

[BinaryJack]

done.

Thanks for the vote.
It is appreciated!

 

[Tpex]

Doubt it, it is more the person who has the expensive camera and editing skills

Then why did you enter mate? By that reasoning any fool can take a good photo, I wonder how many people took their cameras of Full auto and actually adjusted their settings? To take a good photo requires some experience, practice and timing and artistic sense.

to win the money so we can afford a generator to power our house during the 5 day or more no electricity strikes and to not use this expensive 3g during it.

Anyway does it even matter why I entered

I see.
it is best to talk to a bank to get a loan to get a generator.

Timing and zoom for 8 and 4, number 6 looks like a filter which even cellphones have. Number 9 looks like an edit, then again I have never been to the Karroo

 

[BinaryJack]

I never stated it would be my firstborn...
I need to go and buy some candy...in bulk.

 

[waynegohl]

I risked life and limb and lost my first born to that monster and now I must vote for other people!

[Grimspoon]

Best of luck to the finalists

[ShaunSA]

All really great pics! I voted 8. It was the one which struck me when it was originally posted.

Yeah Number 8 ... seen a few people mention it
Righty here are the details:
Sony Alpha A100 (which is now a 5 year old camera)
105mm @ F5.0
ISO 200
No Flash
1/50 second exposure

The only touch-up I did was to up the contrast a bit - but not much more.
and yes I was really THIS close to the birdy at the time - it also looks less cheesed-off in real life

For interest sake - I've posted dump of the raw conversion of the pic
