For our 38th Photo Challenge we asked participants to seek out photogenic examples of repetition. As usual our endlessly creative correspondents delighted us with their fine and subtle interpretations of the challenge. While there was only a hair's breadth between them, we decided that this issue's winner had to be veteran Photo Challenger Roz Krugle's humorous row of school kids' feet. It would have been a very good picture if they'd all been wearing shoes, but the single pair of bare feet transformed the picture into a smile-inducing classic.
We're happy to be sending Roz the prize for this challenge - a Lexar prize pack worth more than $450: 8GB Secure II USB Drive; 2GB Mobile Memory kit including Mini SD and Full Size SD Adaptor; 8GB 133X Professional CF Card; Professional Dual Slot Reader; and 4GB 300X Professional CF Card. Winner: Bare necessities by Roz KrugleOur first runner-up, Tony Graziani, submitted three very strong images. The one we liked best was the image of the massive apartment blocks. But we thought his image of tree trunks was very nearly as good and so we gave it an Honourable Mention.First Runner-Up: Untitled by Tony GrazianiHonorable Mention: Tree Trunks by Tony GrazianiLeigh Beer is another of our regular contributors, and like Tony, he sent us two good responses to the challenge as well. We picked his 'Ribbon of Windows' for our Second Runner-up and pinned an Honourable Mention on his image entitled 'Reflection'.Second Runner-Up: Ribbon of Windows by Leigh BeerHonourable Mention: Reflection by Leigh BeerSpeaking of Honourable mentions, we awarded one each to Mardi Harrison for her close up of her pet peacock Andrew's fine plumage and to Zorica Purlija for her characteristically witty 'Beach Bums'.
