The Fotothing Challenge

Thanks to everyone who entered Challenge82 "Distortion". We’ve really enjoyed sifting through all the entries to see how you all decided to interpret the theme.

----===ooooOOOoooo===----

Our overall winner this week is Danisto. We felt that this was a really strong image and we kept coming back to it; it’s a simple shot but is successful at twisting the perspective so that you get 3 different views of the pencil. Congratulations Danisto!

The winning picture is displayed above and you can see the original with its comments at the link below:

Second place this week goes to ltzEZ2b53. Again, we thought this was simple but brilliant. Make sure you view it in the original so you can see the reflection in the iron.

In third place is Santaslittlehelper for this donut shot. A frenetic, distorted perspective has been created by clever use of the camera’s shutter and zoom.
