Looks like a "banner-crop" of images, thanks for all of your submissions to the Macro DSLR Speed Challenge--Angles--edition!

Winner announced at the bottom.



John_B "Screen Angles"--John. Rgb, rgb, rgb, rgb...think I'm in a catatonic trance. Cool concept and a great capture. Look at it long enough and it looks like colored steps going up from left to right.

Flo "Rusted Angles"--Gail. I love rust, thanks Gail. Nearly sysmetrical grate, very nice. The only thing I would change is I would have cropped the upper third because it breaks the symetry (for me). Well done!

ssracer [D&D Dice]--Sean. Guess I just added myself to the Geek population. Look at all of those right-angles! Nice job with the reflection and composition. I might have added one click of contrast in DPP...but that's just me. Well done.

Daniel2000 "steep angle"--Daniel. Are those dust mites, pet dander? Nicely composed and arranged, with three cords (I like threes) visible. Well done.

Warl0rd "calculating". All of these angles, right angles, now an oval AND PI....mmmm PI. Sweet, simple and to the point. Well composed with great use of DOF. Well done.

Lavanut "Intersecting Forks". Once again, sweet and simple with an ingenuitive flare. Excellent use of DOF and very well composed. Well Done.

fryefoto "Tangled Tines"--Candy. And yet more forks with another ingenuitive composition. Nice tight composition. Well done.


These were some great captures, you should all be proud of your images.

There can be only one winner, but there is room for a Runner up...

Runner up: John_B

Funky and mezmorizing, while playing tricks on your mind the longer you look at it. Good job John.


And the winner is: lavanut

Just a great composition; symetry, DOF, contrast, heck everything. Way to go!!! Now it's your turn to host Challenge #47.

Once again thank you for participating in Challenge #46, you just all did some great work!

Congrats lavanut :)
and to all participants showing macro angles ;)

[Warl0rd]

good job lavanut, I must add its also one of my favorites.

to everyone else, nice photos, lets all keep trying :D

[lavanut]

Thanks for the nod, Jason. As usual, there were some great entries again this week and some great takes on the theme. I thought this was a great one for the challenge, especially in macro. It gave me lots of ideas.

Candy, great minds think alike! Nice job on the forks.
Thanks for the comments warl0rd & John!

I'll post up a new challenge a little later today. Congrats again to all the other participants!

P.S. Candy, I don't know about you, but seeing some of my forks up really close made me a little nervous about my utensils!

[Flo]

WTG Lava!!!!!!! I loved that shot. Great topic Jason.

[lavanut]

WTG Lava!!!!!!! I loved that shot. Great topic Jason.

Thanks Gail. Your fence shot was cool too! Great DOF.

The new challenge is up. I hope you all have fun with it, especially this time of year!
