The Spider who ate The Prize: We unveil our February POTD monthly winners

 

 

It's that time again when we get the privilege of announcing our Photo of the Day contest monthly winners and runners-up, and our winning image for February is a real stunner. In close to a unanimous vote across the board, our regular Bob Jensen's "Waiting Game" image of a tantalizing spider took the crown and top prize for February.

Bob's no stranger to our winner's circle, having taking the top prize in our contest back in July of last year. Our second place winner for February, Debra Dorothy, is also no stranger to the podium, having been awarded a second and a third prize in both 2013 and 2014. Congratulations to both of these longtime regulars, and to Jim Salvas for his gorgeous sunrise, all of which win gift certificates from Adorama.
