Vandana's picture "heat" is the winner of Dgron Challenge 53 "Reflections". 134 votes were cast in yet another extremely close contest. Not only does Vanadana win the challenge but she gets the opportunity to be my co-judge of Challenge 54.

Congratulations to all who entered challenge #53.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    thank you all sooo much !! i have never won a photo challenge before ! this is so overwhelming ..and to think i almost didn't make it to this contest - i was computerless at a conference last few days and took the pic the night before a flight out and...( yeah, ok, when women win, they gush :) )
    All the pictures are really so amazing here and i would've loved to have taken them all - my personal fav was the Jerusalam window thumb.gif..Congrats to all the participants !

    thanks to all those who voted, and thanks for this contest really - i won't 'think' this way if not for a challenge ! ...ok, this is not the academy awards... icon10.gif
    i'm a little nervous about this guest judge thingy, and hopefully i do it right !bowdown.gif

    Ok, I am kinda bummed that I did not win with my first contest entry. But, I do have to say congratulations. I also am a fan of catching reflections in weird or unusual objects like that. You did a great job and deserve the win for an excellent composition.
