Back at the beginning of January I set a photo challenge. All you had to do was take or make a picture of something new and upload it to the Flickr Group page. What constituted \u201cnew\u201d I left up to you and there were many interpretations of that theme.<\/p>\n

I was blown away by the number of excellent entries and I\u2019d like to thank everyone who got into the spirit of the competition. If you went out and took a photo just for this challenge then you should be proud of your achievement.<\/p>\n

Choosing a winner was really, really hard, so I started by narrowing the entries down by selecting the photos that made me think \u201d\u2026 I wished I\u2019d taken that\u201d. From that list I narrowed it down even further to images that were \u201cnew\u201d in my opinion. That left me with a short list of 10 amazing photos.<\/p>\n

So the winner is\u2026 Westminster Sunset<\/a><\/strong> by Paul Smith
<\/a><\/p>\n

Paul will be getting a copy of his print made by my good friends over at Print Yours<\/a>.
I really loved the colours in this shot. It\u2019s taken at the perfect time of day and cropped to perfection. By the way the \u201cnew\u201d bit in this photo is a new ND grad filter Paul used to darken the sky. Well done Paul. <\/p>\n

Near Misses\u2026<\/strong>
