    Challenge 62. Still Life.

    Here we go then. Conscious of the unreliable weather we are having across the country so this one should give everyone the chance to dust off those speed lights, get a sheet pinned to the wall, rummage in the loft for a subject or just pinch something from the fruit bowl or fridge.

    Straight forward I think, a photo of an item or arrangement of items.

    Please give your photo a title, and include some basic exif data.

    I will be keeping the judging simple this time. A few comments on each entry and the results.

    The standard competition rules apply:
    • The competition subject shall be selected by the winner of the preceding competition who will also judge the competition.
    • The period of the competition shall be 14 days: from Sunday 27 January until Midnight on Sunday 10 February 2013.
    • One picture per person; images should conform to general image posting rules.
    • Please use a Canon DSLR.
    • Posted images should be taken during the running period of the competition. Any images submitted that were taken before the competition started, or after the competition has ended, will be deemed invalid.
    • Images 800 pixels widest max (to help those with small monitors).
    • No Photoshop frames and borders.
    • Include a title; the image must convey the theme without title description.
    • Please, no comments, on images until the round is over.
    • No canvassing e.g. “I’m thinking of posting this image for the challenge, what do you think?”
    • The guest ‘judge’ will pick 1st 2nd and 3rd favourite images (please don’t PM them to discuss their choices).


    Fingers crossed this will attract lots of entries. Enjoy.

                    Thanks everyone for the great entries. They all captured what I was hoping for, along with something different.

                    Based on nothing more than what I liked the best please see the following results.

                    3rd Place. crunch "fancy a cuppa" love the soft colours and tones in this one, and its something a little different. Thanks.

                    2nd Place. pelliott1954 and 2b. Really appreciate the effort and thought that has gone into this shot, with the selection of items, arrangement, the light, just everything about it I really like. Great entry, thanks.


                    And the winner is....

                    Mish21 and "Orange Juice" it makes me want to go and squeeze an orange, stunning colour and clarity, you can almost taste it just looking at the picture. Nice one. Congratulations and over to you for the next one.

                        Well done folks. I saw the Orange juice and thought the same. You just know an image is a sure fire winner when you see it. Looking forward to the next subject matter. :)
