Week 40:

Both themes for this week were about “Orange” – many submitters didn’t specify for which “Orange” theme they were posting.  So, to choose this week’s winners, the best of the best were compiled and the judges voted on their two “Orange” favorites from the bunch.  

Winning Photographer #1  Alex Baird – Gilbert, AZ – Semi-Professional Photographer

Congratulations, Alex!!
