I've had people enter plagiarised photos to the contest before, and it usually goes badly for them. If I find that you have plagiarised an entry into my contest I will destroy your reputation score. Please do not do this. If you're going to plagiarise photography on Steemit the worst thing you can do is bring the post to my attention. __________ # Honourable Mentions https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmdUR5cxsTCFndUQJ8KWXJR47HoXBVE1Kdp2dHcbm8Q4sW/20130202_0229.jpg [Submitted](https://steemit.com/steemitphotochallenge/@chrisdavidphoto/steemit-photo-challenge-51-human-eye-b-and-w-entry-1-makeup-on-emma) by @chrisdavidphoto https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmWv44s41H76XMJr3jWEpffgUph8PEKXYh26dmQF1tKpag/22.jpg [Submitted](https://steemit.com/steemitphotochallenge/@armincopp/second-contribute-to-steemitphotochallenge-eyes-b-w) by @armincopp https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmT8GLNr6UcBFmVrxGWUwE53PQjYMjorBUBBNVnYsttVkE/TravisCrookshanks003_BW_LR.jpg [Submitted](https://steemit.com/steemitphotochallenge/@angrysage/steemitphotochallenge-entry-1-human-eye-b-and-w-eyes-of-the-universe) by @angrysage https://steemitimages.com/0x0/http://thevermillionfox.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/steemit393.jpg [Submitted](https://steemit.com/steemitphotochallenge/@kommienezuspadt/steemit-photo-challenge-51) by @kommienezuspadt https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://s19.postimg.org/ghijibjqb/eyes1.png [Submitted](https://steemit.com/steemitphotochallenge/@leotrap/steemit-photo-challenge-51-entry-1-dark-house) by @leotrap _______ # Third Place https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://img.esteem.ws/m3kjo07v5m.jpg [Submitted](https://steemit.com/steemitphotochallenge/@quincy87/steemit-photo-challenge-51-human-eye-b-and-w-look-of-hope-2017821t122953182z) by @quincy87 >"I like that curiosity in the eyes, eyebrows give out risen interest. It seems that the first thing that grows fastest in a new human being is eyes to see the world and learn as fast as possible. Nicely captured moment and interesting angle of perspective.

Yet you can clearly see the eyes and all the environment does not distract from the main subjects of the week. It also creates an intrigue and raises a question. Why?

It stands out from other entries because of the way it was taken. Execution is good: properly exposed and sharp. For some reason it reminded me of WALL-E that is why I find it a little bit funny too.

I hope that many of you will still take part because it's just fun and potentially lots of good exposure! Get it? EXPOSURE?!? ## Prizes First Place — 30 SBD Second Place — 20 SBD Third Place — 10 SBD Honourable Mentions — 2 SBD Each @berniesanders the official sponsor of the Steemit Photo Challenge since Day #1 ## What do you guys think of a different set of prizes? We can switch to Steem, and there have also been suggestions of giving Steem Power (for periods of time) as prizes. Let's say, 100 SP for a week for first place, that sort of thing? Let me know what you think in the comments.
