Our first monthly Photo Challenge has come to an end. I want to thank all of you who entered and also those who commented and voted for their favorites. We had an amazing turn out with 217 photos submitted and well over twenty thousand views, votes and comments. (that’s a lot of people who had the opportunity to see your work). I always knew we had a strong community but this turn out certainly proves it.
Our judges had the difficult job of selecting three finalists from the many great entries. They narrowed them down to their top twenty, and then narrowed them down again until they were able to reach their top three favorites. So without further ado here are our three top winners for the February 2011 CurrentPhotographer.com Photo Challenge:

Congratulations to the winners! These are great images, I hadn’t seen the Grand Prize and 1st Runner up images during the contest, I think they’re great selections, apropos to the theme; especially the abstraction quality in the 1st Runner up image, Kudos!
