While most of our Contest Corner Challenge contests are ‘photography-theme’ based (ie - take a photograph of _______), every once and a while we like to do a contest for those that love the digital manipulation side of the art of photography. About once a year we try to do a “Digital Darkroom” Contest Corner Challenge where we supply a dozen or so photographs, and then ask the community to take at least 3 of those photograph (or all of them), and meld them together to create a new “digital creation.” The entry period came to a close last week, and yesterday we finished voting (see the final voting results here). The photo creation at the top of the pile was “Green Giantess” by divmiller - a very creative combination of several of the supplied photographs.

You can browse through the entries and original photographs to see who put together each “digital darkroom creation” here in the CCC#76: Digital Darkroom #4 Photo Gallery, then head on over to the award thread to congratulate Diana on her first Contest Corner Challenge victory!

The contest was sponsored by Amazon.com - find and discover anything you might want to buy online at the lowest possible prices.
