  Current title holder of our theme fortnight

   Subject: Bridges

The winner this time around is a long time Pixalo friend and supporter. simpbow stepped up to the mark with his entry of 'Malin-Causeway-Bridge' which caught everyone's attention and saw it receiving the most votes in the 'Bridges' fortnightly challenge.

Our congratulations to simpbow on your win.

  Previous winners of our Challenges

   Subject: In the Garden

Boffers sits on the top spot of our 'In the Garden' FA theme this time. No stranger to the competitions we run on Pixalo, he has again received due recognition for his efforts.

As usual all the Crew and members of Pixalo are happy to congratulate him on his win.

   Subject: Distorted

brian wright22 and Sonsey have to share the top honours in the 'Distorted' FA theme since they both received the same number of votes. This is the first time that we have had a joint winner and it shows how difficult it has become to seperate the high quality entries we have seen recently.

Congratulation to them both from all at Pixalo.

   Subject: Patterns

Steve got lucky with the 'Patterns' FA theme as it allowed him to simply hang is ageing camera over the side of his sunbathing position, probably because he couldn't be bothered to get out and shoot something original.

It looks like the Pixalo Crew have thrown down the gauntlet as thats three out of the last four rounds they have won. Can you stop them making it four out of five?

   Subject: Motion

For this fortnights theme we enjoyed the challenge of shooting 'Motion'. Our first and only lady member of the Pixalo Crew submitted a unique shot capturing a jumping horse. This shot portrayed the theme subject perfectly and received the most votes from our members.

So our congratulations go to Angela for her top spot in a closely fought round which displayed a very high standard of entries from everyone.
