Our last photo assignment was Adventure and we had lots of great submissions. But there can be only one winner. And the winner is IMG_1182 by kyleplattner.

This photo is heavily processed. And the technique is a popular one that is very hip these days. Accordingly, it’s not typically something that I enjoy because let’s face it – I am hardly hip. But this particular combination of crop, composition and process created a very impactful image that works well. If the winner sends us an e-mail, we’ll get busy sending them all the prizes.

The runner up was Adventure Keith Rowell. We liked this image because of its drama. It was a close call between the two.

Thanks to everyone who entered.

This week’s assignment – should you decide to accept it – is to photograph WATER. That’s it – no other guidelines – (other than keep it clean – remember our TWIP Flickr Group rules – kid-safe photos only please.)

You can post ONE image to the new Flickr – the TWIP CONTEST POOL and we’ll do the rest. You can also just use the old tag system if you prefer and tag the image with the current theme.

We’ll pick one or two of the images we really like to talk about and feature on the blog – and if we really like something, we’ll send a free book, (or two or three or whatever we have tossed into the prize pool that week) to the winner.

So have at it. You have until June 18th at 5:00 PM – PST to post your images. You can still post images with this theme after the deadline – but we won’t consider them for our TWIP Photo Assignment Competition.

If you’d like to chip in, please suggest some future themes you’d like us to explore in the comment section below. Have fun.
