The Image Wizards Winner!

The November Contest was open a tad bit longer because of when the month ended, but we are now officially closed and I am happy to announce the winner of the giveaway is none other than… *insert cheesy drum roll here*

Dream Lake by Tom Crossman

Thanks to everybody for some really fantastic images – it was extremely tough this time as there were a lot of just amazing shots!  Thanks also to the sponsor for the contest in November, the good folks over at Image Wizards!  The lucky winner will be able to get a print of their choice assembled by the folks at Image Wizards – up to a 16×20″ print!  (Tom, if you could kick me an email with your contact info, I’ll get things coordinated with Image Wizards!  Congrats again!

With November closed and in the books,  the new contest is now underway, and we have a new contest thread  open for entries too for December – the last one of 2011!  The prize list is a literal cornucopia of goodies!  Check it out:

Four books from none other than  Msr. David Duchemin, including:  Vision and Voice, Visionmongers,  Within the Frame and Photographically Speaking

Food Photography – From Snapshots to Great Shots – by Nicole Young (review forthcoming)

Captured – Lessons from Behind the Lens of a Legendary Wildlife Photographer – Moose Peterson

Handy Lenscap Holder – donated by the folks at Photojojo (review forthcoming)

A free copy of every eBook in my own online bookstore!

And more…. (the particulars for some vendors aren’t sorted out yet, so I don’t want to announce the rest prematurely, but more is definitely coming!)

 And of course, a holiday bonanza giveaway wouldn’t be the same without the particulars for entry, so here goes:

1. One image per person, with the longest side between 600-800px.
2. Share your photo in the Flickr thread here.
3. The theme is CHEER!
4. All images must be work-safe/family-friendly.
5. Taken within the last 60 days (preferably during the contest window).
6. Image submissions must be done by January 1st.
7. Have fun!

*Important*  I will cover up to $20 in shipping costs.  If the winner is international, there may be a small additional cost of shipping required to get the books to you.  If the winner is unable or unwilling to cover the additional costs of shipping, an alternate may be selected at the discretion of the judging panel (me).

So, get out your cameras and get on shootin – as we have just a smidge under a month to get the last winner in for 2011!  Thanks for stopping in and we’ll see you back here again tomorrow!
