Notice

The user @sandeepachetan has been accused of plagiarising. Unfortunately, that user made it through the competition without being caught, it was only after the theft was awarded, and for that I sincerely apologise. I take plagiarism very seriously with this contest and I really hate that somebody got through doing it.

That said, that account has been banned from the contest for life.

(Maybe even today, wink wink hint hint nudge nudge)

Future theme suggestions:

  • Single light source (e.g. match) - note I recall this from another competition so might not be the best if there are photos online
  • Action (high shutter speed)
  • Bokeh (because @pfunk just posted a photo with insane bokeh and it'd be nice to see what creative things people do with it)

I like these suggestions... *strokes beard *

It's a huge honour to come second place. Every challenge I'm stunned by the quality of photos I see, and to think that one of my photos is up there with them makes me very proud.

There were a lot of really interesting techniques and it's great to learn about them here. @condra's "thumb over the subject" is something I've never heard of! :)

you rock!

Wow, these are really INCREDIBLE! I'm looking forward to scoping the winners to check what gear they're using. These are really stellar photographs!
Thank you for hosting @jamtaylor and @berniesanders, you had a great amount of talent enter this competition which is great fun for our Steemit community.

@condra this actually made my jaw drop
@siavach this is striking, I'm drawn into it. GREAT shot, I felt a story with it.
@pcste and @sharker are inspired and I'm looking forward to playing with your ideas
@k471 AWESOME
@shieha this is beautiful
@stansmith and @bitcalm I'm a sucker for the sky shots, very well done!
@lgm-1 like the sky, I never tire of looking at architecture!

Thank you @blueorgy for Steemimg.com!

Your blog is really interresting. Looking forward to discover more and more and moreeeeee! By the way your capture for the challenge was really innovative and artistic!

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the mention!! & thanks for using steemimg :)

Hey, @jamtaylor! Thank you so much for the honorable mention! My personal favourite of all entries is the black and white picture made by my honorable colleague @siavach.

Just whoaaaaaa! All the pictures where sooo brilliant. You guys are genius! I'm soo happy to be part of the challenges of @jamtaylor and the support of @berniesanders and @blueorgy (i d'like to upload my works with steemimg but didn't support my formats. Or maybe i suck and i don't know how to upload which is probably the reason... XD). Second time winner in 2 participations. You make me feel strange and really happy! No words for that!
@tytyd as I told you your work is a winner!
@dercoco your work inspires me!

Head over to the steemimg channel on Steemit.chat and I'll get you sorted out!
