Congratulations to ♥ Junior for his winning photo titled, “Bolas de Navidad,” in last week’s Christmas macro contest. We really love this photo—its festiveness, its selective depth of field and crisp focus, the way the light hits the bulbs just right and makes them shimmer and sparkle. Anything that causes us to stop and catch our breath is welcome during this busy season, and this image definitely did that for us. Great job, ♥ Junior!

We’d also like to congratulate our runner-up hanwelhobo for his beautiful shot “baubles.” We love the incredible warmth and the detail of this photo.

Great job, everyone. We are thrilled with the response to the Christmas theme so far and are filled to the brim with sugar plums and chestnuts and jingle bells and good tidings. Keep them coming!
