O.K. - Here's the results.

1st Place - msowsun - "100 Year Old Book" - Nice, sharp photo of a stately book!

2nd Place - abuseddog - "A buddy reading one of his favorite 'books'" - Very cute picture. He actually does look like he is interested in what he is reading!

3rd Place - jorogume - "Waves of knowledge" - Interesting composition (and title).


Good pictures, all. On to this week's contest. Take it away, msowsun.
