"The reason I picked this image attached is that it is very Australian. The Camel Ride at Cable Beach Broome has become a real must do or see for all Australians.
The image was well taken and the reflections really make this shot work. Well done Georgina! You now have the great Lumix GF1 heading your way. Enjoy!"

"It was hard to pick a winner this month as there were a lot of great shots to choose from. With last months winner a black and white shot I really felt we needed a colour shot this month. What I liked about this shot is that Aussies love their sports, especially water sports. This shot captures a great moment as the driver going full tilt goes airborne. I also like the strong colours of this shot.
Well done Weldon!"
April Winner - Wave Rock by Reza Behjat
Location: Hyden, WA.
Taken with DMC-FZ30 (Exposure:0.01 sec, Aperture: F5.6, ISO:80)

"It was hard to choose as there are a lot of good photo that have been submitted .The reason I selected this one is that I know this location and it is harder than people think to get a great shot of it. I think Reza has done a great job in capturing this image. Having it in Black and White really helps add drama to this shot. The cloud also adds interest to the sky. As a person who loves colour it seemed strange that I would go for a Black and White so please everyone don't just send in Black and Whites but when a shot works it works.
Congratulations Reza!"
