Perhaps you will capture birds in flight, or look for a new way to photograph your feathered friends in the light! Try to cpature moment, or the tiny details of these magnificent creatures. Look for unqiue ways to capture their characters in a portrait, and above all, have fun doing it!

Last week’s winner

Last week’s theme was Macro World – and our favourite image this week is:

This week’s winner is this image, captured by Pete Buxton of ‘Common Blue Butterflies Mating: This is a fantastic moment that delves deep into the magical macro world that exists around us! The mirrored composition is aligned beautifully with both butterflies in focus and the darkened background allows us to focus on the bright colours of the subjects in question and frames the scene. Well done, and thank you to all who entered!
