I thought it was going to be easy to pick the winners, but as more entries came in it became more difficult. I still picked the same winner from the time it first appeared.

#2 Aryel Peppa Pig.   3 points

#10 Bateleur ballet shoes.  2 points

#11 John Robinson wooden boats.  1 point, because lots of my best pictures are of old wooden boats.

[Dr. No]

Great Challenge, here my votes:

#4 Dirk der Sammler - 3 Pts

#9 Christoph_D - 2 Pts

#7 Panfoto - 1. Pt.

Congratulations to Bateleur and Aryel on their performance, and thank you for voting my picture into second place.

Thank you also to all participants with their wide-ranging and interesting interpretations of the theme.

Well done Charles, Christoph and Aryel.

Thank you to all participants for joining in and giving purpose to our Barnack cameras.

Now to go shoot the 111f for a bit more practice before the next Challenge comes around.

[Bateleur]

Thank you Christoph and Erl and well done too to Ariel and Christoph. This was a well chosen theme and I for one enjoyed exploring it and enjoying your entries, for there were some lovely entries with sincere sentiments and expressions of emotion and attachment. 

I'll come up with a new theme towards the end of the summer/early autumn.

[Aryel]

Congrats @Bateleur, @christoph_d and everyone!

Looking forward to the next one 😊

[Dr. No]
