This challenge rocked. Photogamers ruled the skools and put up some super images.
Super-winners are picked by your photogamer dungeon masters and it’s totally subjective, you know, kinda like interestingness on flickr except it’s just our opinion and there aren’t any special math equations, it’s just what we like.
Xilia rocked it with this pink image of her legs which are her transportation. Check out how her dog’s tongue matches her outfit. Shots like this don’t happen every day, so I hearby wave my wand around her head and dub her AWESOME.
The Favorite Toy Super Winner is Retropocketlint with these googley eyes. Hmm, the possibilities are endless here. Eyes on cars, eyes on ketchup, eyes on my eyes… well you get the idea!
The Transportation Super Winner is Saquino2 who posted this shot of a skateboard, which were a fave among photogamers this round.
The Recommended Reading Super Winner is Istolzar who posted this pick of The Arm and included a toy’s arm in the shot. Very cool pixelation here.

WOW! Another great week in photogamerdom! Congrats to this week’s Super Winners!!
1. Something you love. There were a lot of photos of your kids and dogs in this category, which (of course) is fabulous. But one sweet heartstring tugger was Anna Scott’s photo of her 64 year-old teddy bear. How sweet is that??
2. Somebody making music. Tons of guitars and keyboards! This one, by VAZanne, wins because of it’s originality! Very cool.
3. Something in use that should be thrown away. Lots of interesting stuff here! The winner is sparktography, who is trying to throw away a nasty habit. Let’s all support him, shall we?
4. A sunset. This one was hard!! It’s one thing to see a beautiful sunset and pull out a camera. Quite another to be told to take a pic of a sunset, when weather or location may prevent anything terribly exciting. The winner is livininfrostytown, who captured an Alaskan sunset!
5. Water. There are so many ways to take pictures of water! No one specified the shape or form in which the water must be! We like this one from funkymunky1515. Ikea ice cube trays rule!
6. An animal you don’t see every day. Xilia wins this one for her photo of a fruit bat because, well, just look at it! Gorgeous.
