L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge- The Eyes have it- WINNERS!!

Thank you for linking up to the LEarning Never Stops Photo Challenge- we had some really beautiful photos this week, it is always so hard to pick only two!

Here are the two winners for this week's challenge:

1)  Sunflower Schoolhouse

 this photo is sheer comedy, I love the subject and the looming spacial effect is awesome.  I'm sure there is a technical term for that, but I don't know what it is...I do know that this photo is special!

2) Our Peculiar Lives

 This photo is so soft and beautiful.  I love how the blue of his eyes stands out, and I love how the whites in the background blend and fade together.  Again, there is probably a tech term for that, but I don't know what it is!  I do know that this photo looks professional- with the clean white background.  Great job!

Congratulations winners!

Please join us this Saturday, when the theme will be:

Physical Education.  How do you do P.E. at your house?

Winners! *L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge- This Moment

Thank you everyone for joining in this week, I really enjoyed seeing your photos and reading the stories that went with them.  This week's winners are:

1) My Southern, Hippie, Married, mom of four life!

 this photo is beautiful, the aged hands with the very young hands...the choice of black & white, one of the comments was that this would make a beautiful painting- I agree. 

2) From Doing to Being

Kim wrote about often fumbling with her camera and missing the moments, mostly getting posed shots..this day, her dogs had an unexpected bath- she missed the plunge, but captured the ending.  She wrote about remembering to be present in the moment, ending with these wise words...

"all of life is seeing the extraordinary in these everyday moments."

Congratulations, winners!

 Here are the two winner's of the cropped edition of the L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge.

1) Scripted Hearts

Not at all what I had in mind when I announced the theme, but- I love how 'out of the box' this photo is, she answered the challenge in a different direction then the norm.

love it!  The flowers are sooo beautiful, too!
