[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 62659, member: 6351"] Another week another winner! :) This time we are announcing the winner of the "[URL="http://nikonites.com/weekly-photo-challenges/6273-weekly-challenge-june-10-june-17-miniature-small-scale.html#post59774"]Miniature/Small Scale[/URL]" Challenge which ran from June 10 to 17. First of all, a hearty thank you to the "elite eight" who came up big by thinking small! (where to I get this stuff?) It's always nice to see people dedicate their free time to enter these challenges. As per normal, we had a quite a varied crop of worthy entries which made it very difficult to choose a winner! (that's a nice problem to have though! :)) Personally, I found Ted's "[URL="http://nikonites.com/weekly-photo-challenges/6273-weekly-challenge-june-10-june-17-miniature-small-scale.html#post60187"]The [I]Flaminkos[/I] go to the beach...[/URL]" entry absolutely hilarious and Joe Lewis' [I][URL="http://nikonites.com/weekly-photo-challenges/6273-weekly-challenge-june-10-june-17-miniature-small-scale.html#post60110"]Hoverfly[/URL][/I] entry to be the most stunning macro entry (really brilliant!) Having said that, here are the 2 entries that in my personal opinion in conjunction with your "likes" that were closest to the mark for this week's theme. #2- [I][B]Monkey's Big Dream [/B][/I]by Kim20: (click [URL="http://nikonites.com/weekly-photo-challenges/6273-weekly-challenge-june-10-june-17-miniature-small-scale-2.html#post60751"]HERE[/URL] to view the entry) As so many others agreed, your entry of this cheeky monkey was very creative indeed! It was particularly strong on the elements of "impact", "subject matter" and "story telling". Nicely done Kim. [I](drum roll please)[/I] Our big winner for this theme is: #1 - [B][I]Model Railroad?[/I][/B] by AxeMan - Rick S.
