There were so many outstanding captures posted this week that I couldn't narrow down the choice of the Photo of the Week to a single image. Well, it actually made judging easier - choose the 3 great shots as co-FBPOTW winners. This is a record of sorts for PBPF. Congrats Rey, Val and JP for raising the bar higher as far as aesthetics and rarity of capture are concerned!  |

Wow, with the amount of quality photos this week it's really hard to chose.
Congrats to Rey and Val for going the extra mile to capture these rare species beautifully.
And congrats to JP who goes where no photog has gone before or will ever try what he's doing. Exceptional fish eye view capture of the PD!!

The birds captured by Rey & Val are rare and exceptional. The bird captured by JP is not rare but the angle, distance, and method used to take the picture is exceptionally rare. To the 3 Kings of the week, congratulations on these beautiful captures. Well done. Mabuhay.

I've have written my admiration for Rey and Val's efforts and beautiful captures of rarities.
This is a beautiful, beautiful shot of our very own Philippine Duck. It stands out from among JP's superb collection. The picture speaks a thousand words, not just quack, quack. Well, it silently shouts , "Move over Bean Goose. This is my territory!." Great details and lighting. Bravo JP! telyds
