Another amazing week of excellent entries!
It's been great to be able to see all of different animals and plants in your areas, in some wonderful combination photography! I'm still super excited about all of the participation, since without your entries, there would be no contest!
EXAMPLES
Before I get into who won the contest last week, I’ll once again review what I am looking for by featuring some combination photos of mine.
When I say “combination photography” I mean that you should combine two elements; plants and animals. At least one plant and at least one animal should be featured in your photo.. Here are a few examples.
Besides simply providing the images, I also require that those entering this contest provide a proof photo as well. Two main versions of proof photos exist. One kind features the same combination of plants & animals with a written paper in the photo with your username, the date, contest name, etc. to prove that you took the photo for the contest.
The other type of proof is just a selfie with the animal and plant. Here are my examples for the photos featured above.
Once you see the proof photos there should not be any doubt in your mind that I actually took the photos I shared above, because you can see me right there! The written proof works in the same way.
THE WINNERS!
Before I share who won, let me please mention that this was an extremely hard week to judge. You guys are making some amazing entries here! The Winner gets 50% of the liquid post payout from the Week 42 Post and the two runner ups each get 25% of the same.

Thank you everyone for all of your efforts and entries! It has been a blessing to check them all out! Although the official way to enter this contest is by including your entry photo and the proof photo in a reply to my post, I strongly encourage others to make an actual post featuring their entry as well. Sometimes people who don’t win get paid more for their post than if they had actually won!
ON TO WEEK 43!
By now you should have a clue about what this contest is and how to enter, but here are the official rules just to make sure. Enjoy, and I am looking forward to seeing what you can come up with.
HERE ARE THE OFFICIAL RULES:
- Photo entries must be placed in the reply/comment section of this post.
- Submissions may also be made into posts, but it is not necessary.
- A proof photo will also be required. This can be in the form of a selfie with the subjects from the photos or in the form of your username written on a piece of paper in a photo, etc. Basically, you must prove the originality of your work. Therefore, your entry comment should include two photos.
- Users have between now and the time of the post payout to enter this contest.
- I will personally select one winner to award half of the liquid payout from this post to and two runner ups who will each get 25% of the same.
- Enter as many times as you like!
- Depending on the interest in this contest, I may have it be ongoing.
TL;DR
If you reply to this post with a photo of a plant and animal together and include a proof photo before the post payout from this post, you may win a portion of the post payout.
LET THE 43RD WEEK OF THE CONTEST BEGIN!!!

YIPPEE!! Thanks @papa-pepper! Can't believe I won. And well done runners up. What incredible captures of the bee and hummingbird. Wow! Bit concerned about that pond of yours...here if you float around in that type of water there's usually a crocodile floating nearby!
Ooh, cool! Crocodiles? That sounds like so much fun. I wish we could swim with them here.

Lovely art images and what a grasping piece to have captured. award deserving picture. You waited for a long term to get the favored perfection and all of it is really worth the wait. lovable view and fantastic surroundings. Hold up the best work.

Here is my contribution to the contest. They call them flying lizards but I think gliding is more accurate. I am told they are all color changers based on their surroundings. THE WILD WOMAN @ronafe handling the lizard.
Here's a contribution for the combination photography. A praying mantis at sambong herbal plant

My entry for @papa-pepper combination photo. GIANT SILK MOTH ON HIBISBUS.
This Silk Giant Moth is about 6 inches from wing-tip to wing-tip. His body is like a plump hairy raspberry, and has white lines down his sides like thin piped whipped cream!
