Winner: Carpatian Falls
Datos

Small Falls Challenge finished on Saturday, 07 Feb 2009 Landscapes are a popular photographic subject, and some of the most appealing landscape features are undoubtably waterfalls. So in this challenge we want to see your waterfall pictures, but with a slight twist. The big, obvious attractions (Niagara, Victoria etc) are banned from this challenge; let's see smaller, less well-known, and more intimate views.

Winner: Oscar - Bored of Posing
Bimberiman

Candlelight Portrait Challenge finished on Friday, 06 Feb 2009 Capturing the warm glow of candlelight in photographs can be quite challenging. Faster lenses, using tripods and slower shutter speeds is the trick here. Try using reflectors to throw in some extra light. But to throw a spanner in the works, we're going to disqualify the most obvious subject - children (big and small) blowing out their birthday cake candles.

Winner: Balance
Dourado

People and Balls Challenge finished on Thursday, 05 Feb 2009 Ok, this is all about sports, the type that involves some sort of ball to be precise. So get snapping or raid the archives and submit your best football, polo, basketball, cricket, tennis etc etc images. Just make sure there are at least one person and one ball visible in the image...

Winner: Machu Picchu through a Fisheye Lens
The Smoking Camera

Into the Wide Challenge finished on Wednesday, 04 Feb 2009 How creative can you get with the wide angle lens? Show us what you can do with lens sporting an effective focal length of 35mm or less. Remember to tell us what lens you've used (no fibbing) and on what body. Compact and SLR entries are welcome, but make sure the lens used has an acceptable focal length (check our Camera Database if you're not sure). Oh, and no borders! Good luck.

Winner: weekend cottage
Spiridakis Michael

The front door Challenge finished on Tuesday, 03 Feb 2009 This is just what it sounds like. Take the best picture of your front door (or part of) of where you live. It does not need to be of the complete door (it can be only a small part of it), nor does it have to include only the door. What are your feelings about the entrance to your home, and how are you going to convey them photographically. This is one that all of you who have a camera can do, so please no pictures before the start of the challenge.

Winner: Une Table, Une Chair
Jeustin

Tables and Chairs Challenge finished on Monday, 02 Feb 2009 The title says it all - go out and take pictures of tables and chairs. It's a subject in abundance all around you, and equally easy to shoot indoors or outdoors and all seasons round. So look for a new perspective, or try to tell a story - use your imagination and come up with something a bit different.

Winner: Fading
AJHopp

Fruit Shoot Challenge finished on Sunday, 01 Feb 2009 This challenge is to elevate a fruit from being just another snacking option to the centerpiece of a photograph. Whether you place a single fruit or a whole bowlful is up to you. Lighting and setup should bring out the feel of a Portrait and not that of a Stock image.

Winner: Waiting for my Best Friend
MKDJr

Someone or something, somewhere, is waiting Challenge finished on Saturday, 31 Jan 2009 Waiting for the bus, waiting for inspiration, waiting to be used or just waiting for something better to come along. Who (or what) is waiting, why and what for is up to you, but your photo has to convey a clear sense that your subject is in some way incomplete. Oh, and no borders!

Winner: Blue Venice
Antonio Caggese

Shooting the Blues Challenge finished on Wednesday, 28 Jan 2009 This challenge is all about colour, more specifically one colour only. We want to see pictures in which the only strong colour is blue. Aside from that, anything goes - just try to be a bit more creative than pictures of the sky. However as with many of our recent challenges, entries must be taken during the submissions period - we want the challenge to inspire you to pick up your camera and start shooting, rather than leafing through your old shots on your computer. So get out there and start thinking about light, texture, composition and form... and blue.

Winner: tree in fog
aizoo

A cold feeling Challenge finished on Tuesday, 27 Jan 2009 With the recent blast of cold weather here in England and most of Europe, it would be interesting to go out and take photos of the weather. Show views images that invoke the cold. This might be pictures of snow or rain, or maybe just people with colds, rugged up and looking miserable.
