Steemit Photo Challenge #2 - WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT!
That’s all folks!
The second Steemit Photo Challenge is officially over.
Once again, we’ve seen some brilliant photographs submitted by talented people, and as always it’s been difficult for us to choose our winners. Thank you to everyone who submitted this week, the panelists, and thanks to @berniesanders for his donations.
The theme this weekend was Shadows, in black and white. Our guest panelists @condra, @pfunk, @begstreets, and I, have discussed this week’s entries and each chosen our picks which were consolidated into one list. We disagreed a bit, but that’s what I wanted and I think there was a fair give and take, and I appreciate that.
So without further ado...
People’s Choice! - 10 Steem
The People’s Choice award goes to the user with the most number of upvotes. I trust and hope that there has been no misuse :)
With 221 votes, by @blueorgy Submission who has requested his winnings be sent to @rhi-marie:
"I would [definitely] like my winnings to go to my personal favorite Oil light 'ferris wheel' in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka by @rhi-marie"
So said, so done!
Here are some Honourable Mentions - 10 Steem each
By @k471 submission

Third Place - 50 Steem
Second Place - 100 Steem
First Place - 150 Steem
Congratulations to our winners!

Congrats to everyone. The standard was insanely high. The photography community on Steemit are doing something right, for sure.
Agree, loved seeing all the great entries! Also a big thanks to anyone that helped stop plagiarism and the theft of others photos! This is something I have a huge beef with, so if you plan to try and pull off other peoples work as your own, Remember I'm not easily fooled! Also if you suspect something say something I have a few ways of verifying.
Wow! First place! Thanks guys!
I didn't expect that as there were some fantastic entries. A great selection of photos all round. Bring on the next challenge!
It is an amazing photo! Great Win!
Congratulations! Such a beautiful photo! Well deserved!
It was my favorite as well. Great photo @theyam !
@jamtaylor you can take my 10 Steem from winning the People’s Choice and add it to @rhi-marie winnings! I really enjoyed this photo & it is unfair for me to be included in a Most UpVotes contest, I have many followers and tend to get lots of real and auto up votes no matter the subject. If I were to win I would want it to because of one of my photos!
So I would defiantly like my winnings to go to my personal favorite Oil light 'ferris wheel' in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka by @rhi-marie

Thanks @blueorgy, I will do that as you wish.
I think I'll drop the People's Choice, but I want to encourage upvotes on entries. Will have to think of something.
Aw thank you so much @blueorgy, I'm extremely grateful and so happy you liked my photo as much as you did!
Extremely decent of you @blueorgy
