March Photography Challenge Winners

Each month, here at Photography Challenge (www.photochallenge.gather.com) we hold a monthly photography challenge.  A Guest Judge starts it off with the topic for the month and then our avid photographers get busy shooting and submitting pictures that fit the theme.

 For the month of March, our Guest Judge was JIMMY U!! To learn more about Jimmy and view his photography, be sure to visit his namespace at www.jimmyblue.gather.com .  The theme that Jimmy picked for this month was "Trains, Planes and Automobiles" and we had a wonderful turn out of photos.

Jimmy had this to say:

" I had no idea that judging the challenge would be such a hard job. Every entry was amazing and deserving of recognition. I am honored to be part of such a talented group. You are all winners in my book."
