It has been clarified that image 9 (Clear Reflections) was taken in Tasmania.

Please note that the competition rules state that entries must make it clear that they were taken in Australia, either by their content or by their title. It is possible that such entries could be disqualified in future. (This one has not been disqualified as it is not the only one that was entered without a clear location - another one was cleared up by an admin before the poll was posted).

8 - Looks like a right leg to me. Excellent depth of field.

Loved the insect shot, what exactly is it? This month's contest was definitely one of the hardest. Well done fellow contestants.

This cannot be answered by the entrant until voting has closed, otherwise it wouldn't be anonymous.

The tie breaker in this case was the first person to send me a post about the result after the event. I've no idea if they already voted or not, but I'm taking their post as the tie breaker vote. So the winner is:

Taurë-rana - Clear Reflections

Congratulations, Elf Lady!

Nice one Rachel, Mark's shot is great but has a pretty whacky looking sky in it - a worthy winner!

Technically, it's Polystigma punctata, more familiarly known as the Punctate Flower Chafer. If that means anything to you. From the Scarab family.
It's supposed to be limited to NSW & Qld, but that shot was taken by NgothorukCreek.
