The absence of a theme for our monthly contest has its benefits as it treats us to a kaleidoscope of imagery that represents the varied genres of photography. And the October Photo of the Month was no different as it showcased everything from wildlife to abstract photography. Judging the contest this time was ace photographer, Pravin Talan who spent a considerable amount of time to pick the final images. Choosing the winning image was especially difficult as it was a split decision between the first and second place. So here they are, the final winners decided by our judge, the Fotoflock editors and the votes of the flock.
