First I would like to thank all contributors to the challenge!
As I got a bit worried about the lack of participation...
but you didn't let me down :)

Here are the top three to my eyes!

3rd place goes to Q-tips by Mike53545
Interesting common item that is soft with a great view, highlights a bit off

2nd place goes to Bubble wrap by Warl0rd
A perfect recycling of a common item, which does give a soft appearance and feel to freight

1st place goes to Downy Soft by philk54
A soft natural subject with good colors

Congrats to all!

Great photos everyone!!

My photo was shot only minutes before I posted it. I was trying all week to think of something soft, and it was stumping me. Then today as I was brushing my teeth I looked down and the wife had refilled the holder we have in the bath room for Q-tips....light came on. From the time I shot it to the time I posted was about 7 minutes, becuase I was already running late for work as it was. I didn't spend any time in post expect to convert to jpeg.

I'm glad we had some last minute entries too. It was slow going until yesterday. I guess folks like to wait until the last minute. :-) Congrats on the win Phil, and nice job everybody else!
