The winner of April's challenge is ... Sylvia! We loved this capture of colourful street life, and the bemused expressions of the passersby at a rather uncomfortable jester just made the image. You can see the original photograph and comment on it here: http://www.fotonomy.com/sylvia/photo/c6c6bc34/ Also, a special mention to our runner up, DGM. Great use of perspective to create a funny optical illusion: http://www.fotonomy.com/DGM/photo/f8aeaa64/ Many thanks to all our April entrants! May's challenge will be up at some time tomorrow.

To celebrate April Fool's Day, this month's challenge is: "Jokes, Japes and Jesters". Perhaps you have captured something funny, or want to take a picture of someone tricking another person.

The winner of March's challenge is... Tracy! We were just bowled over at this wonderful still life image, with all the wonderful detail of the new plant sprouting from the coconut.

Her Biker Chicks brought a smile to our faces, even if there was no smile on theirs: http://www.fotonomy.com/Coyote/photo/20aa3920/ Well done to all our March entrants - some fabulous photos there as always. If you haven't seen them all yet, do go back to the entry page and check them all out. April's challenge should be posted some time tomorrow. No foolin'

A spring theme for March's Challenge: "New Beginnings". However, the choice of interpretation is yours.

The winner of February's challenge is... DGM! This photo was a winner in so many ways: technically, compositionally... it just has that amazing WOW factor, as I'm sure you'll agree. You can see the original photo and comment on it here: http://fotonomy.com/DGM/photo/146c135f/ A special mention to our TWO runners up: Ashdad's chilly red berries make good use of contrasting colours and wow... look at those icicles! http://www.fotonomy.com/ashdad/photo/9a9baa3d/ Podiluska's uniformity of cones make a really effective composition - great reflections too. http://www.fotonomy.com/podiluska/photo/1bf30e5d/ A big thank you, as always, to all our participants. February's challenge seemed to have really caught your imagination and every single entry was superb, making it very hard to choose. March's challenge should be posted some time tomorrow.

With Valentine's Day in mind, February's challenge is "Red".

Closing date is Noon (GMT) on Friday, 29th February.

The winner of January's challenge is... Sylvia! The judges liked the effective use of the square crop, and the simplicity of composition. The judges also do a lot of contemplation at the bottom of a teacup, so it seemed an apt entry! You can see the original photo and comment on it here: http://www.fotonomy.com/sylvia/photo/608a0a15/ Also, a special mention to our runner up, DGM. We could lose a few hours rocking out in that chair, easily... http://www.fotonomy.com/DGM/photo/e3ca97c0/ Thank you to all our participants. January's theme was a particularly tricky one and you all rose to the challenge admirably. February's challenge should be posted some time tomorrow.

Apologies for the slight delay in posting the results for December's challenge - it was just a bit too challenging for the judges to be coordinated during the festive season ;) We hope that you all had a good one, too. Anyway, without further ado, the winner of the last challenge is... Coyote! Our judges just fell in love with this cheeky chappy, and also admired the subtle colours, minimalist composition and nice use of a shallow depth of field. You can see the original photo and comment on it here: http://www.fotonomy.com/Coyote/photo/0ff4addd/ Also, a special mention to our runner up, Rob. His photo can be found here: http://www.fotonomy.com/Rob/photo/c551ff20/ Well done to everyone who participated. We appreciate that this is a busy time of year, and loved that you took the time to share your photos with us. May 2008 be one of more great photographs!
