That will forever tell our imaged story.

Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #16 - "A Common Item" Winners

Ok, first thanks to all contributors!
As all this weeks macro photo submissions were great!


First Place goes to "A Light Bulb" by lavanut
It was just a perfect macro photo of a common item (to my eyes), having the filament in focus and the lighting gentle on the eyes. Well Done!!!

Second Place goes to "Forks you" by genodm
You make those forks look dangerous to put in the mouth.

Third Place goes to "Oats" by 00dahc
I just hope they are sweetened.

Again Congrats to all as they were all great photos!

PS. Just a reminders for future submission, don't forget to give your photo a title ;)
