Winner and Finalists of Assignment 16 - Night

And the winner is...csd619! Congrats!

Another week of really hard decisions. We had a lot very good and very creative entries this week. Remember that more than just composition goes into a winning photograph. Basic technical skills (a good grasp of basic camera functions, sharp focus, and good lighting) can make or break your chances of making finalist status when the competition is tough. Composition is still important though. When judges are trying to decide between two very good images, something as simple as a stray branch throwing off the composition can make the difference in which one is chosen.

When you are done reviewing the winner and finalist image gallery, be sure to check out the rest of this week's entries in the forum.
