I have to go with #10 this month, pretty shot, good use of the enviro
Don

Wow, those are some excellent photos!

Wow. For me it's 8 or 10? Tough choice!

Others are good aswell, btw!

#6 really made me laugh it really looks like he is scared and #8 and 10 are really stunning photoes. I wish i had a cam to take macro shots. I have been putting the little bugs in my wifes ears that i want a really nice cannon with a removable lens for either my b-day or christmas so hopefully it will pay off and i will be able to enter some photos. Great shots for everyone that entered this month guys, hats off to all of yah.

lol 8 is amazing If I could really get that close to a puffer, it'd be biting my nose! Love how perfect it is.

Its been several days and I STILL can't choose!

I will be contacting #9's owner for sure about getting that shot in the Pedia

I voted for #4.... lot of no votes up there. This race doesn't seem very close...

Wow I expected #2 to have some votes. Thats a sweet pic how you can see his reflection. Alot of amazing pics here to everyone. Nice job

Thanks to those who voted for mookie! I was distracting mookie to give the snail time to climb up the glass but then had to snap quickly, that snail did NOT stay around long!

There's some fun pictures this month, I had trouble deciding!

Such a tough choice! Great pictures everyone! I had to go with the one with the amazing detail of the GSP eye. I can't believe how much you can see the different layers in the eye! Truly astonishing! Sure we can't vote more than once though?

Well, remember, if a picture didn't win, it can always be re-entered in a later month!

I'm VERY impressed by everyones pictures! I almost didn't vote for my own (thanks SammyDee for voting for it!). Haha.
I know it won't win, but I'm no quitter. Besides, I have a brand new orange congo puffer to photograph!
