Challenge #104 - Wheels (but not car wheels)
************************************************** *****************
RESULTS!
Not as many entries as I had hoped, given that wheels are everywhere, but thanks to those who entered - all interesting variations on the theme. I'm not going to critique every entry but here are the winners:
FIRST: urcunina for "One vehicle, Four types of wheels". This reminds me of one of those old Norman Rockwell illustrations and the eye is immediately caught by all the wheels - which was indeed the subject. I hope you'll tell us the story behind this one before you take over the job of the next challenge.
SECOND: PaulB for "Weather Wheel". You did a good job getting sufficient depth of field to illustrate this complex looking instrument.
THIRD: BBoi for "Neon Mouse Scroll-Wheel". Just had to give you a place for this sharp and colorful shot even though it's a bit of a stretch to recognise a wheel. If "Mice" had been the subject this would have won :-)
Again - thanks to all and good luck with the next challenge, urcunina!
************************************************** ******************
Arguably mankind's greatest invention - the wheel! Singular or plural, anything goes as long as it's not a car wheel (I can't face judging the merits of various fancy mag wheels on hotrods etc ;)). I'll look for well composed creative shots that speak for themselves, not needing an explanation.
And please - read the RULES! It would be a shame to have to disqualify a good photo just because it's over the 200k file size limit or not exactly 800 pixels on the longest side. And please give your entry a title in the subject line.
