The Photo Contest Entries That Weren’t

Several of the contestants for the Inspire Me Africa Photo Contest sent in multiple pictures and I was faced with the difficult task of choosing my favorite for the competition. They were all so good that I thought I’d share them with you for your pleasure as well.

From Mara, more photos from Kenya.

The next three were sent in by Yasser.

“The Nile River”

the fjord in sinai

“The Fjord in Sinai”

“The Oasis in Sinai”

I went for the most inspiring pictures with the best photographic qualities. The two which I had the hardest time picking for Mara and Yasser, respectively, were the photograph of the child and “The Nile River”. What do you think about the final cut, did I pick the most inspiring, or would you have selected some of these alternates instead for the contest?

Can’t remember what they all look like? Here is a gallery of the complete Inspire Me Africa Photo Contest final (and alternate) entries.

    @ Stina:

    I completely agree. I was great to be able to see the range of her creative eye…hopefully she’ll be involved in future contests!
