Thanks to everyone who entered

Enter our current photo competition.

Thanks to all who entered the Black & White photo competition – we had a staggering 1,203 entries this time and the standard was as high as ever.

Our judge Leigh Caraccioli got her judging done for us over the weekend, so we can reveal the winners…

Watch the video below to see the winning photographs, and all honourable mentions…

WINNER – The Last Tango by Kenneth Mucke

Well done to our winner Kenneth Mucke (www.photoartcreation.com) who has won Photo Bundle Software courtesy of Alien Skin – Worth £385!

Here’s what Leigh said about Kenneth’s image: Kenneth’s image kept popping up in my mind time and time again. It was causing an inner battle. Part of me labored over the blur, the bits of overexposure; the other part of me embraced the blur and was enraptured by wanting to know the rest of the story. Either way, I realized that what I love about this image is how it represents a passing moment and history in shutter click. It’s intriguing.

UPDATE - Kenneth has dropped us a line with a bit more background about the image:

The photo was taken in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the fall of 2009…The couple dancing are a very famous tango dance couple in Buenos Aires..When they are not performing in Tango Dinner clubs there …they are performing on Florida Street..They are an amazing dance couple…..I have gotten to know them very well over the past several years and they always draw a huge crowd.

Runner-Up – Catwoman by Annemieke Goldswain-Hein

Second prize goes to Annemieke Goldswain-Hein (www.goldswain-hein.com) and she has won £50 Park Cameras Gift Voucher.

Here’s what Leigh said about Annemieke’s image – While there were many images of people, nature, architecture and photojournalism that struck me in this contest. Again, I couldn’t shake the curiosity of this one by Annemieke. Being a photographer gives us the privilege of capturing beautiful in people, places, things. Life’s simplicity.  This photo has such authenticity, clarity and beauty. I love the use of directional light evoking moody, tender and pure. I want to know this story too. It’s clever.

With such a high standard of entries, Leigh found it very difficult to choose a winner and so she wanted us to include 10 of her favourite images.

Here are her honourable mentions -
