It was a tough battle for the winner as there were three clear favorites. As I counted the votes, the lead changed often but here are the results.

1. Shelby (19 votes)
2. Joe U. (17 votes)
3. Scott (16 votes)

Good photos everyone. Any ideas for the next photo contest?

??

Weren't we voting for 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place? I'm confused.

Oh well, congrats to Joe and Shelby.

"Vote for your favorite three photos in no ranking order. Just list the names of the photographers of your three favorite pictures. To keep it simple, list the first screen name of the photographer (for example, I would be "A.P.)"

Congrats all - they were great images!

Next assignment...Something NOT sports related. Please? Pretty please? Anything but action sports (again)....anything.

I agree about the next assignment. Keep it simple to allow a variety of entries.

Landscapes?

Portraits? (Dogs aren't allowed so Umali is challenged on that one)

I was thinking Portraits, specifically self portraits. It's something I rarely do and think it could be kinda fun.

I'm with you Ryan... I dont do self-portraits very often... here is one I did about a month ago. And for the record, yes, people were looking at me like I was a fool as I was driving around in circles in the parking lot with a tripod and camera ratcheted to the front of my truck.

Totally! Something like that would be perfect! Self portraits are tough, not just for the technical aspect but because you can be the biggest critic of yourself (plus the embarrassment factor of taking photos of yourself.) I love that one though!
