Firstly, thanks to everyone who sent entries in. I appreciate it was neither a pure photography competition or a great picture to build upon. That said, it was a bit of fun and I hope you had a laugh doing it.

Given how frequently cropping was used within the entries, I'm guessing nobody liked my original composition!

In order to make it impartial, I asked Dermot to judge the entries and provided them to him in an anonymous flickr page.

About the winner, Dermot said:

"A nice clever crop, good composition, a little bit of brightness tweaking to bring out the colours and give definition to the clouds, we don’t need to see the whole digger to know that it’s a digger…"


So, without further ado and with much ripping of virtual envelopes, the winner of the 2008 Learningtosnap challenge is.....




Andrew!


Thanks to all that entered and to Dermot for judging the entries.
