First Place ($500 Prize)
"Untitled"
by Sarah

This was a tough call between the first and second place winners, but I had to go with Sarah’s picture for its great balancing act; it gets its point across without overplaying its hand, and what could have looked vulgar is instead almost innocently sexy. What I also love is its sweetness – the look of care on her face and the blessed-out contentment on his are both fantastic.








Second Place
"Orange ya glad I didn’t say banana"
by Ramon A.

I love this picture because of its great sense of harmony. Obviously the color of the oranges, the bathwater, and even the model’s eyes play a big part of that, but even more I like how the shape of the orange slices reflects the shape of the model’s breast. I’m even willing to overlook the hokey title.

 

Third Place
"The First Bite"
by Scott Moulaison


One of the few entries not to use any nudity at all, this picture is up here simply because it contains one of the best “come hither” stares I’ve seen in a long time.









Honorable Mention
"Beefsteak"
by aMix


There are two things I love about this picture: one, the model is really tearing into that tomato with such abandon, and two, someone recognized the tomato as a fruit.









Honorable Mention
"Pinup"
by Michelle R.


I’m not sure if the soft focus here was intentional or not, but either way it helps this photo live up to its name – it could almost be a painting of a Vargas girl.
