Welcome to the first ever Photoblogs magazine’s photo challenge.
Choosing the winners out of the many entries I received in the last month turned out to be almost an impossible mission. They were all very creative, beautiful and interesting images with great stories behind them. I just wish I could choose them all!

First place
The Skaters by Bernard Mataigne
Montréal, Québec, Canada
“Winter is long in the north, so there is lot of possibilities to take pictures of winter sport… I like the perpective on this one.” Bernard Mataigne
Second place
Celestial Cycle Luke Winter
North of England
“I shot this in a field I pass by everyday on my way to school; I’d been having an amazing shoot session, probably my first ever hot card, I’d bagged a load of different shots that I thought worked. The sun had set so I was on my way back; the light had gone- no more photos to be had. I don’t know why but I turned round. I’d never seen this angle before and noticed the moon. I shot it off using my knee as support and it turned out to be my best of the shoot. Taught me to always take the last shot, something thats come in handy countless times since. ” Luke Winter
Third place
Let us never forget George J Butler II
Boston, MA
“I was out walking around Boston last year when I decided to stop and hang out at the Holocaust Memorial near Quincy Market. The woman in the photo was walking through it and stopped. As she looked up, I took 2 shots (focusing on the glass)-this one being the best. You can almost feel her sense of bewilderment as to how such an atrocity could have occurred. It has since become one of my favorite photos” George J Butler II
