Challenge #1 - Super Winners!
So, as a reward for completing the entire challenge AND properly tagging your photos, we’re gonna highlight some of our favorite photos in each category! They could be chosen for a number of reasons…quality photos, humor, creativity, etc. Congrats to the Super Winners of Challenge #1!!
In the “small dog” category, the winner comes from mommy peace. Not only was this a great shot of an adorable puppy, but she takes care of dogs and puppies who need homes. How great is that?!
The second category was “reflection”. The award goes to David Reeves for his puddle reflection of the Flatiron Building in NYC. I know…totally unfair advantage to live in NYC! 
Category number 3 was to snap a shot of one of those crazy non-cell phones that some of us still remember. Okay, the award goes to Hilary’s dad (hiladad). Before you whine about this, listen to why! He joined Flickr specifically to play photogamer! AND he took a pic of a nice old phone and still remembers his phone number (3-9-J) from when he was a kid. Good enough?
Next up was a particularly difficult challenge for some…to snap a shot of a stranger in a hat! We were particularly impressed by sparktography’s patience as he waited in the bitter cold for a stranger in a hat to pass by so that he could complete all five challenges in one photo! Check out his photo for all the details!
Finally, we asked that you all take a photo of something you made! So many creative people on Flickr, but we knew that already, didn’t we? Many of you made US hungry by showing food and drinks that you’d prepared. Yeah…thanks…Hilary probably gained a couple pounds on Sunday. The winner, though was completelyknown for a really beautiful photo of a miniature rustic chair that he made.
And those are the super winners of Challenge #1. Congratulations, everyone!
Wow, it is such an honor to be included in this group. There are so many great pictures and creations that were added to the first challenge of Photogamers, I am humbled. Thanks so much for this great idea and group. Thanks for choosing me as a Super Winner! Wow, just thanks.
I am truly honoured (and quite flabbergasted) to be in such company. Thanks! I think my favourite pictures were actually the phones. For some reason, they aren’t sought after subjects for photography, at least not in the same way as cute dogs, so it’s nice to see them. The hands will be tougher…good luck everyone!
