Come To Me Photo Contest Winners Announced

Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best shots showing subjects walking towards you in this contest with chances to win a Sony 18MP Smartphone Interchangeable Lens and more. The world's first pro-grade lens and sensor combo that clips to your smartphone. Now you can shoot breathtaking, DSLR-quality pics and instantly share them online for more "likes" than ever. It's never been easier or more convenient to capture and share special moments in the beautiful quality they deserve.

A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Joseph Muench for his collaboration as a a guest judge. Joe is a photographer based out of Minnesota. He very recently launched two eBooks on Flatbooks.com entitled “Travel NOT Required”. Joe is driven to encourage other photographers to find their unique vision and express it even while their access to resources may be limited. He creates wide and varied imagery, but admittedly leans towards his own unique synthesis of abstract, surrealism, detail, and individual perspective, striving to subtly stretch the boundaries of reality in distinct and thought-provoking ways. He accomplishes this through various techniques and approaches, namely infrared, HDR, black & white, and inventive digital post-processing.

Congratulations People's Choice "On a mission" by markmahler

Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "Focused" by anitarossview

"The intense, confident gaze of this big cat is perfectly captured. The exceptional focus and lighting, combined with the deep, rich colors and tones, cause the face to pop as a result, providing a strong three dimensional feel to the image. The power evident in the forearm stepping towards the viewer more than adequately addresses the "Subject Headed Towards You" spirit of this contest. It is a well-deserving winner." - Joseph Muench

Congratulations Amateur Winner "Cat in a tree" by Jane_Bjerkli

"The combination of the cat's positioning to the viewer (i.e. above) and the front paw in mid-step fully satisfy the idea of the "Subject Headed Towards You". Indeed, you can almost feel the full weight of the cat as it lands on you. The expression is excellently captured, the focus on the subject is crisp, and the colors are rich and vibrant. This is an excellent image." - Joseph Muench

Congratulations Runner Up "Here We Come!" by mlbmemories

"The line of penguins leads the viewer effectively through the image diagonally, stopping only to enjoy each individual along the way. The ravine in the background also provides interest and depth. The image has a delightful whimsical feel with the penguins looking in various and seemingly random directions. It is an enjoyable photograph." - Joseph Muench
