Our winner this month’s photo contest… is Willa Mason for her photo of a wild turkey feather.<\/p>\n

Why did she win?<\/p>\n

Well, it’s a classically good photo – strong leading lines and triangles – but what she says in her supporting text (see below) about observation skills tipped the photo over the edge to win!<\/p>\n

Willa says:<\/p>\n

“I came across this wild turkey feather while on a walk on my Aunt & Uncle’s farm in Orton, Ontario.<\/em><\/p>\n

It instantly caught my eye because of it’s unique stripes, I like this photo because I think it shows a simple thing that some people wouldn’t even give a second glance, but when I took the time to look at it closely, and observe the texture it made me wonder, because I never would have guessed that turkeys have striped feathers!<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/em><\/p>\n

Willa Mason<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Nice work WIlla! For her fine photo Willa wins a Canadian Geographic Magazine Subscription<\/a>. Congratulations!<\/p>\n
