Congratulations to all the finalists. I'm a bit confused by the winning entry, though. "Firstly, we wanted something that we couldn't see just by looking out of the office window...," said the summary of criteria above, but since when can one not see a robin perched outside a window?

Hootoo is having competitions now that don't involve captioning the antics of drunk researchers at meetups? Boy, I'm out of the loop!

It'd have to be an enormous bird for us to see that much detail through our window

Yes indeed, this rule in the competition actually left things wide open as only 346 entries had to be moved to the h2g2 Photography Competition folder marked 'row of cacti'.

I am not saying I don't like the photo...
But robins always remind me of those awful 'end of the box' Christmas cards, so unfortunately I can't get that out of my head. It didn't stand a chance with me for that *and only that* reason.
Besides - we are all just incredibly jealous!
Congratulations to the winner and all the other finalists 
PS. I loved the sunset and the one of Perth.
