January 'Blue' free monthly comp: the results!

Congratulations to Heather Mcneice who has won our January 'Blue' photo competition with the image The Blue Boat House, as judged by photographer Frazer Leal. 

Sharing his thoughts on Heather's winning entry, Frazer said, "Whenever I'm judging a theme, I try to go with the most eye-catching interpretation, which may not mean, as in this example, that the whole image is blue as this can be too obvious." 

"My eye was drawn immediately to blue, contrasted by the rest of the scene. It's a technically very well photographed image."

As winner, Heather will take home an amazing 500 GB SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD valued at $145, thanks to our wonderful sponsors SanDisk.

Over on Facebook, Danny Lee's entry Stare Down has won the title of People's Choice Winner. 

As People's Choice winner, Danny has won a 12-month digital subscription to either Australian Photography or Capture magazine. 

Our judge Frazer has also given a special mention to the following three entries:

Frazer's Bio:
My passion for photography reaches further than most enthusiasts. I live and breathe it! From working in our family photography guiding business to getting out there into mangrove mud, searching for elusive turtles and eagles, there is never a dull moment. I’m always planning my next photo adventure.
