Facebook Group Photo of the Month – June 2026

Congratulations to Richard Sells, whose imaginative image "Who Spilt the Growth Hormone?" has been selected as Otley Camera Club's Facebook Group Photo of the Month.

Each month, the previous winner chooses their favourite image from the latest entries, and this month's judge, David Baron, had an incredibly strong selection to choose from.

David said:

"Thank you all for your entries, there were some fantastic photographs. But in the end I chose Richard's giant caterpillars – maybe because I have just been listening to a podcast about Quatermass!"

The winning image tells a humorous story, with miniature forensic investigators arriving to examine what appears to be a giant caterpillar incident after a container of mysterious "growth hormone" has been spilled. It's a great example of how creativity, storytelling and photography can come together to produce something memorable.

Richard reassured everyone that the caterpillars were only borrowed for a few minutes before being safely returned to the ragwort behind his home, where hundreds appear each year before transforming into striking black-and-red Cinnabar moths.

Congratulations to Richard on another deserved Photo of the Month success, and thank you to David for judging this month's competition.

Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who entered. The quality and variety of images submitted each month continue to make choosing a winner a very difficult—but enjoyable—task. We look forward to seeing what July's competition brings! 📸
