Big congratulations to our winners of the legendary competition - Alexoa1 @Alexoa1 as 🥇 Winner, Sandra Al @SandraAl as 🥈 Runner up and D RiversPRO696 D Rivers @Drivers in 🥉 third place. As usual - I follow the first three and they get thirty likes for their best works. The first hundred posts also get one like. I look forward to seeing you in the next competition, which I will announce shortly. You can also visit this competition with the same award for posts:

Congratulations for taking part in the close up portrait challenge. Congrats to the winners.

Wow! Congratulations to all the participants of the 📷 Photorealistic Challenge #53 📷 -- the entries were truly top notch! And congratulations to the winners (actually not just them, but the whole Top Ten should have been gold medal winners, in my opinion).

👏🏻

Let's face it: big kudos also to NightCafe which, finally, now provides a vast range of checkpoints perfectly capable of generating photorealistic images (as opposed to when this challenge started, almost a year ago).

Stay tuned, because we're about to go live with edition #54.

Peace, Love and Nikkor Lenses,

Thank you everyone for allowing me to host! Thanks for playing & congratulations to the winners! See you all at the next one!
