Challenge 30 the WINNERS are..............

MFC said:

Thanks, Mark, for all your efforts…you did a great job hosting.
Thanks too for a theme idea I really enjoyed working with.
Congratulations to all the placements…as usual, I’m always
impressed with the unique ideas and images. I provided some basic
techniques along with my images to reveal the not-so-fancy props I
used in trying to achieve certain effects. I hope someone will try
something new or different because of it. Believe me, for each
entry I submit, there are many trial-and -error shots to sift
through …but I really enjoy it and have great fun with it. Thanks
to those who appreciated any of my images…and for your votes of
approval.
I will post the new Challenge topic very soon after posting this
response …only because the upcoming holiday (for many) may afford
some unique photo opportunities for Challenge 31.
Thanks again everybody,
Mike Callahan (MFC)

And thanks again to MarkJ! It was fun and a great experience to
once again be challenged by something we may not normally choose to
shoot. My only disappointment was that this wasn't a challenge that
would run over the Thanksgiving holiday -- a time when we, in the
US, celebrate FOOD!

Good work, everyone and happy Thanksgiving to all

First, let me congradulate the winner MFC who posted a strong /
poplular showing in this challenge with his wonderful images!! You
are one very talented photographer, as are many of the other
participants of this challenge. It's in your hands MFC... I'm sure
you'll come up with a great challenge subject/ theme !

I also want to thank all of you for allowing me the latitude (in
the way of cooperation) to make this challenge slightly different
by asking for not only positive comments, but constructive
criticism. I know for a fact that this was a learning experience
for some, just by the repost of images that were tweaked after
taking some of our comments into consideration.

I hope this was as much fun for all of you as it was for me?

Have a happy Turkey day everyone and remember.......
