Some challenge entries confused "pattern" with "texture", but not this one. I thought this was a strong entry. The texture really stands out and makes me want to reach out and touch the wood. The b&w was a great choice and not to go overboard but it really does remind me of the great Ansel Adams. So there! :-)

I love this image, it's like a still photo from a silent movie. What a creepy "scarecrow!"

From Sweet Grace Fallen

One of my challenge favorites, except for the frame. I'm glad she is holding a doll (rather than a knife or something), though I think an older doll might have worked better. Still, interesting accident how the 'V' her fingers make mirror the 'V' of the doll's eyebrows! Btw, I thought this was one of the "too" children ( timfythetoo or aimeethetoo).

Congratulations, MM -- exciting to see a "new" image (and new photographer) on the front page.

This was my choice for "best in show", so I'm really puzzled by the low placement. Great shot, very creative.

Nice, you really caught the "glittering" quality of the beads.

"Patient?" I think that's an understatement! Very colorful and creative, and well deserving of a ribbon. Congratulations!
