WINNERS! - L.E.N.S. Photo challenge- Your best shot

 Wow, we really had a nice turnout for the LEarning Never Stops Photo Challenge this week.  I really had a hard time choosing only two winners, there were some really wonderful photos out there!

Here are the two winners- I just went with my gut reaction this time, the two photos that made me exclaim out-loud when I saw them...

 1)  Scripted Heart

the simple composition is stunning on this, as is the lighting.  Wonderful!  I love the lone leaf there...

2)  Sunflower Schoolhouse

Honey asked for our thoughts on this photo, which neither she or her husband took- they just found it among other shots taken that day.  My first reaction when I looked at it, was that to me, it looked like angel wings.  What do you see?  Honey, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it...

Thank you everyone for playing this week!  I hope you can join us this Saturday when the challenge theme will be - "cropped"

L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge- Living Math- Winner!

This week's winner of the LEarning Never Stops Photo challenge is:

1) Mary from Homeschool Success! 

She shared photos from a wonderful post about Math lessons at her house.  I loved the point of view of this shot, how close in she got to the manipulatives and the bright colors.

This week's challenge only had two entries- however, the other entry was not a photo, but a video clip, so it could not be chosen as a winner.  I will give a shout-out, however, to Arithmetic Village and the really cute clip of King David reading a lesson.  :)

I hope you can join us next weekend, the theme will be: Capture the ordinary

see you Saturday!

It's just a big cup of comfort, don't you think?  I love this shot, how close up it is. Wonderful!

L.E.N.S. WINNERS! -perspective editon

 This week's winners for the L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge- perspective edition are:

1) The Family Trifecta

this photo has wonderful wow effect!  What a shot!  It's a great shot, an unusual shot- and I loved the post she wrote to go with it about perspective. 

2) Homeschool Success

Mary wrote that this photo is framed at her house, and makes her smile whenever she looks at it. The smile here is catching, how could you not smile!  I love how close-up her subject is, the in your face perspective is not such an ordinary one- and I love how the depth of field makes his friend in the background seem so far away.  Wonderful!

Thank you all for sharing your wonderful photos with us!  I hope you all can come back on Saturday when the challenge will be Shadow.
