*** FEBRUARY PHOTO CONTEST - RESULTS *** [View all]
This month had to rank as one of the greatest runaways in DU Photo Contest history, as the very first photo submitted for the contest jumped out to an enormous lead in both its preliminary round and the finals, and never looked back, more than doubling the votes of the second-place finisher. (And, to be honest, the first moment I saw it pop up in the submission thread, I knew it was the all-but-sure winner.)
Anyway, it is with great pleasure that I announce the winner for February's Photo Contest...

The Host's Awards (two of them this time, just because I said so -- and, as the host, I get to make the rules!) go to "Me And My Shadow" Ted Lewis, by justiceischeap...
...and to Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season), by intheflow...
...while a Special Topical Award goes to Sunflower (Lenny Kravitz), by mnhtnbb for combining both of the top-two topics in this month's initial poll: "...based on a song" and "Graffiti."
