I don't know if the beast is sneaking up on the woman or if it's the pet walking 2 steps behind it's owner, but this transformation is awesome! Full of anticipation - very storytelling, and also very cool composition!

The mountain climbing, tomboy, amazon, tougher than a locomotive, is totally transformed into a romantic, very sweet and beautiful princess in a fairytale picture! But who said girly girls aren't tough? Not me :-) Congrats, P!

I loved the grainy wood, the patterned plaque, the string, the metal handle and door knob - so many textures for the 'Texture theme'. All that and lovely shapes and colour too! A wonderful find Sara - congratulations.

Congratulations lisendavy for this surprising entry in the 'Texture theme'. This photo looked as if it contained chocolate mousse with the lovely air bubbles surrounded by a soft - meringue (sorry am I drooling?) Imagine my surprise when I learned the truth! Thanks for that Rita!

This great macro was our other winner for this week's Scavenger Hunt and was taken by tomeq. The mixture of the white and dark chocolate shavings look almost abstract this close up, but they still look tasty. Congrats to tomeq for this entry 'chocolate shavings'. Please take a look at this slideshow to see all twelve entries for this week.

This insanely cool shot of a chair-ride at night was taken by tad2106. She took this shot quickly and in the rain. I just love it. It looks blurry enough to be abstract and yet the lines are there that you can make out what this is - eventually. This entry was for the item 'light' in this week's Scavenger Hunt. Please take a look at this slideshow to see all twelve of her entries. Congrats and thanks for playing!

Take a look at the rest of her great entries in this slideshow. If you think it's lacking some pictures, it's because she did some combinations - like in the picture blogged here that's both "ladle" and "5 coffee beans".
