This month's challenge is: I Made This. For this we'd like to see you at your most creative: something you made, or a current work-in-progress. Can be anything you like - a meal, something crafty, a scribble on a post-it - the only rule is that IT HAS TO BE MADE BY YOU! If you would like to participate, please upload the image into your Photoreel and link to the URL in the comments below. One entry per Fotonomer please. No prizes, just kudos for the winner. Closing date is Noon (GMT) on Wednesday, 31st December.

The winner of November's challenge is... DGM! This great action shot just made me laugh out loud the first time I saw it. Great composition and colours make it a fabulously dynamic image. You can see the original and comment on it here: http://www.fotonomy.com/DGM/photo/a134aae1/ Really struggled to choose a runner up again this month - there was a really diverse selection of entries, including some very clever interpretations. Finally settled on sylvia's: http://www.fotonomy.com/sylvia/photo/bf0cf0b3/ Whereas DGM's freezes the action in his image, sylvia has a lovely mix of motion-blur and freeze-frame - you can almost hear the wings of the birds as they take off! Thank you for all your entries - there wasn't a single one that wasn't superb. You are making this job very hard!!

...sometimes not so subtle.

The desert bloom, when it happens, is often subtle.

Objects in Mirror May be Better Than They Appear! Heading out now from another great visit to Death Valley.

Amazing what sand can do in the right conditions...
