The SDC Photo Competition! Post your best pic and go into the draw to win a $100 Coles or Woolies Voucher

Hi guys! It's 2022, and we have a new competition for you... This one is for the photographers (amateur, professional, semi-professional - we don't mind!) among us.

There's no theme or requirement for any professional equipment - entries using smartphone cameras are perfectly acceptable.

The only rules are that the photo was taken by you, and that you include a sentence or two to give us a little context/back story about the photo.

We'll be announcing a winner a month from now - i.e. Feb 11th.

Good luck!

P.S: If you're having any problems uploading your pic(s), please let me know and I'll see if I can help!

This is super cute! There must be something with pets and shopping bags. My puppy Franklin goes into the cupboard and grabs paper bags to chew on all the time. Misty looks very content :)
 
Noisy but beautiful,

I took this photo in South Africa on a little Panasonic TZ7 - not on zoom either, I was less than 2 feet away from this leopard so couldn't use the Nikon D90 I had been using. I was really impressed with the clarity of the little camera.

I took hundreds of photos in Africa I'm very proud of but this remains one of my all-time favourites for the contrast. The bird is a lilac breasted roller.

Hi Jonathan- is there a limit to how many photos we can enter?

Wow that's terrifying. Totally worth it though it seems, being that close to a leopard is a once in a lifetime experience. Absolutely amazing shot.

That little bird really pops! I love the composition of this shot!

No limit (within reason of course). Judgement will be based on a single entry of course!
 
I’m loving this competition!
 
Blending in, you can’t see me attacking your plant!!
 
I have had to register her tongue as a lethal weapon. She'll lick you to death and show no mercy.

Jonathan, I've twice tried to upload photos I've taken to his site but it can't do it and says that its too large for the server. I use a Canon Eos 80D camera and they are jpeg and not Tif. I haven't had any problems loading my photos to anywhere else before this. I really love photography and was hoping to share some of my photos. It also looks like I'm not the only one.
 
Love seeing bees in my garden
