My photo had the most votes. I also want to thank you here for everything. I will also participate in the following competitions. I congratulate all the contestants and the winner of course.
Charlie - Don't feel bad. Really good first month of competition with fun and good entries. Stuff happens, we get it.... we grow and learn in everything we do. Looking forward to the upcoming months of challenges.
Thank you for changing the rules. The AI images and obvious inflated voting made me seriously question the integrity of a competition that I felt was going to actually be fair. The fact that you made sure to point them out and then address these issues as a big NO-NO in a photography competition proved that you also want a fair competition, and that was the sinker for me in becoming a member of your channel. Thank you again for being an all around good human, you are truly appreciated!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I tried to anticipate as much as I could to make this as fair as possible and things always fall through. I will continue to learn and evolve with each competition, but the one thing you all can count on, is that I want this to be fair and I will do my best to make it that way and give a fair chance to everyone, the website helps me with "bots" and inflated voting and the experts at Neewer said they would be happy to help with the decision making which removes pressure from me also. Every time someone wins someone else must loose and I know thats tough for some, specially for me as the face of this 😅. Thank you so much for your support 🙏
Good job, Charlie. I learned a lot and hope to be able to implement your tips myself in the near future. I agree with your changes and improvements. I can't believe AI images were submitted. I'll be buying the photo course starting in Feb. Just in time for the new contest. Looking forward to the subject you choose. Thanks for the very detailed critiques.
I am glad you enjoyed the video, and yes, those AI images were interesting. One was submitter by a channel member just seeing how it would perform compared to real photos, he emailed me prior to let me know of his intentions. It looked really good 😅. I’m sure you will love the course, good luck with your photos!
Thank you! You inspired us to try to create something new - that's the main thing about this competition, I think:) Looking forward to hear the new game topic!
Thank you for the critique. Mine was the first one with a bite taken out of it, lol, thought that would add a real touch. I thought I was too blue in the light, I'll keep that in mind for the next one. Congratulations to juanjo!
Congrats to the winner… I no longer have access my boss’s camera and I don’t have mine yet so all I can do for now is watch and learn. Great video as usual, learned a lot.
Very well done. I liked the critiquing of the images. I think your decisions, on moving forward are good and just. I like submitting more images. I'm looking forward to the next competition. Well done.
Thank you so much. This was tough for me. This next competition is going to be a little different, that’s what I live about stock, any subject can be a good seller 😁
I think it's great that you've changed the rules :D I think that we can learn more if you and newer as someone objective and who has knowledge decide on best photo. I like this charachteristic of you that you are open to learn from every experience. I've took the picture of parsley smiley face on cheese and blue plate. After I took the picture I've eddited it a bit in postprocesing because there were stains and reflection on the plate. While I was selecting the cheese and the plate at the botom of the picture I didn't manage to keep the natural shadows of the sandwich
Great shots. Mr Wollertz Chill brother, you put your effort and knowledge into organizing something like this. Haters will always be haters, but who gives away free gear today? lol, nice contest in the next round; probably I will give it a try :D Nice WORKS
I just bought two Neewar strobes. They needed the triggers, so I got those on eBay and they work great. However, all my soft boxes have a Bowen's mount. I can only put them on the Neewar strobes with bungee cords! What kind of mounting bracket would fit?
Hey i got quick question aboout shutterstock if you have time, by any chance do you know if our portfolios are gonna stay uploaded or its gonna get deleted once they merge with getty. Thanks!
Congratulations, Juanjo! 🎉 That's a great shot.
Good effort, everyone (except the people who used AI) 😊
Thanks, it was a lot of fun! Hopefully, you guys will all be back for the next competition.

It's your contest so you are judge and jury. What is fun is to pull the top ten and present as a countdown to the winner.
Thanks! I’ll keep
It
In mind for the next one 😁
Thank you! You inspired us to try to create something new - that's the main thing about this competition, I think:) Looking forward to hear the new game topic!
That is 100% the point, to get out of your comfort zone and shoot the random subjects and concepts that believe are going to sell 😁

You are welcome! That was a great idea with the bite! I've done that before, they just don't sell as much 😅
Congrats to the winner…
I no longer have access my boss’s camera and I don’t have mine yet so all I can do for now is watch and learn. Great video as usual, learned a lot.

Thank you so much!
Great shots. Mr Wollertz Chill brother, you put your effort and knowledge into organizing something like this. Haters will always be haters, but who gives away free gear today? lol, nice contest in the next round; probably I will give it a try :D Nice WORKS

Which strobes did you get. I’m pretty sure an S Bracket would solve your mounting issue
