This month we had a guest (Glennart1981) pick the words and judge the photos. Such fun!
————————————-
I have been very honored to be able to host, commandeer, and takeover with great hostility this month’s cimblog(tm) 8 Things Photography Challenge. A responsibility that I do not take lightly. We have had beautiful photos of the mega blossom, Orcs, and very delicious looking breakfast platters.
With such artwork to choose from, it was very challenging to decide on just one winner. But that’s the job. So it is with a solemn heart in a sober mind that I present the winners of this month’s challenge.
Runner up – Wind is a challenging subject and I think this was the most successful and deserves recognition. Beautiful photo. Congratulations Receptionear!
Second Place – Great photo, I love the content and use of the Horns to block the sun. Great technique! Congratulations AftonWhite!
And the Winner of cimblog(tm) 8 Things Photography Challenge April 2017 is….
So many great qualities about this photo: I love the scale, the lighting, the bokeh, the content and how the eye is immediately directed to where the artist wants. Great subject, great Tiny find, and great courage getting that shot! Congratulations Cim!!

WE ARE BAAAAAACK!
It’s been a nice long break but it’s time to dust off those cameras and exercise your creative eyes! The April words were provided by Glennart1981 and will be judged by him as well. Hang on to them hats and glasses, boys and girls!
