William spent about two months composing and taking pictures for a blacklight Lego photo contest on Flickr. Today they posted the results and he won third place! Not only are we very proud of him but Will is pretty excited, too! Honor and recognition are great but a set of super amazing Brick Arms is even better!!!
Here is the winning shot:
Crash
The recovery team approached the destroyed space craft to recover as much of the computers as possible.
This is what the contest judge had to say about this shot:
“My family and I went round and round on Third Place quite a bit--as I said, the judging was very difficult given the high quality of so many entries, and the competition for the top three slots was intense!
This scene was not the strongest entry from a technical standpoint--there were others with cleaner photography and more intricate builds. For us, though, those flaws were overshadowed by its composition, its emotional and dramatic impact, and we just kept coming back and looking at it, imagining the story that lay behind it--a sure sign of a winner.”
This shot took Honorable Mention:
Ice
The mountain climber stood there, awe struck, not only by the vast beauty of the glacier, but from the glowing matter, and the eerie glow it cast onto the arctic tundra below.
Judge’s remarks:
“As with Crash, this scene just grabbed us and wouldn't let go despite its simplicity and the technical weakness of the low-light photography. I took a liking to this photo early on and everyone in my family who saw it thought it really deserved to win something, even though we couldn't justify bumping any of the entries that ended up making the final cut.
Both MorsLEGO and Lego Photography already have winning entries, so in recognition of these two shots I'll be throwing a little extra surprise in your prize packages.”
