15.5: Contest 15 Entries – Winners Announced
Contest 15: Winners Announced
1st Place
The Rare Zen Seahorse by YoYoBandalore
Back again to lead the way, YoYoBandalore scored first place with his signature combination of build ingenuity, high fidelity photography, and strong contrast. The shot is well composed, cropped exactly as needed, and generous with resolution.
2nd
Scottish Terrier by Pigwedgen13
That about as ‘awwww’ as a blob of Zen Magnets can get. If a real dog had these proportions, it would most certainly be a cute puppy.
3rd
Bunny by LeftCoastGal
A clear shot with a clean background. The contrast causes your eyes to gravitate towards this one. Great shot.
4th
Silver Rattlesnake by NEWskin
This fierce rattlesnake seems to have it’s tongue out while the posture seems to say he’s ready for a fight. Beautifully narrow plane of focus.
And if you haven’t already, check out the many great submissions below.

Judges, remember that this contest requires that the magnet sculpture started out as a blob, and was squeezed, pinched, pushed and nudged into a new form. Also remember that this contest is a photography contest just as much as it is a magnet sculpture contest, overall aesthetic does matter. So many good entries, this won’t be easy voting.
