WOW! Kudos to all who have entered. Beautiful work. Good luck. I would need prints on the wall to narrow it down & probably would take at least a few days of re-looking. Beauties. - Rewatched once. Wrote the times down & came up with 8 but wrote a star next to 2 of them. Guessing it is a Fly on Yellow Flower at4:32 &, the Frog photo at 5:00. Good luck to all.

A real treat to see so many quality images in so short of time.

All of the photos are just simply breathtaking! I especially liked the frog in 3:45 with amazing color of green with contrast of black background, I can feel the nature and the most classic color of frog that impressed me the most!

[jacovanniekerk]

Amazing.. the two White butterflies on purple flower 2:35 Not easy to capture the movement and sharp butterfly in one setting

[hadhramyusa]

Great tool and great demostration, surely I will get mine soon!

[jerzyczartoryski]

The photos are absolutely amazing, I thought it was a competition for amateurs, but these were definitely professionals.

[chentouchhe]

All photos are great, but i love simon i learn a lot from him!

[deeroelofsz]

Wow, what an absolutely incredible selection of images, I do not envy you judges at all!!
For me personally, I love the Tiny Chameleon at 2:40 / the Bug drinking from the dew drop at 3:40 / the tiny Seahorse at 4:04
That said I believe any one of these could win they are all amazing!
Well done to all the finalists.

Cheers to all the finalists~and big thanks to Pangolin for sponsoring this contest! I’ve watched this first video 3 times…such a great learning “tool” for aspiring photogs-like ME-to closely look at the images and see what sets them apart. And kudos to all the judges for taking what must have been an immense amount of time to pick the winners. My vote goes to chameleon with pink flower…

[nancybell]

All fabulous images and congratulations to the photographers! My choice is the spider with the headless fly, and that fly head off to the side. Such an incredible moment to capture!

[garyjoneshome]

They are all winners! My favorite, after watching several times, would be the Chameleon on the flower (#13).

[LauraFisher-tx]

What a treat to see these amazing images. I loved the first dragonfly, the bee with the daisy, the spiders and the seahorses, but my favorite was the chameleon with the pink flower. Thank you for sharing. It isn't often we get to see these many of these creatures.

[kmac]

All spectacular. For me- it’s the snail. The use of light and color is amazing. The image imparts a mysterious dream like quality. Kudos!!!

[DereckUrbanowskiPhotography]

The frog that is the third from the end. Something about the simplicity is absolutely breathtaking for me.

[ladykay]

1st dragonfly, the pink tulip, the chameleon on the pink flower. There are some really great shots here, but those are the standouts for me.

[kwasmiths]

Amazing images - seems a pity to have to choose but for me it is the bee in flight approaching the flower - crisp and perfect

[tedbrown]

I know Simon, He is very knowledgeable about photography, camera operations and post production. Excellent choice for a judge.
