"Penny & Dishes." While bathing my daughter in the sink one morning, I looked down and noticed the beauty in the everyday. I captured this moment, which to me, was better than any concept I could have made. It was my reality; it was my love.

Sheelan and Olivia, West Cork, Ireland.

DAVID ARKY "Future Bike." An image of a bicycle that I would like to have some day, if it was possible to defy the laws of physics.

MIA Y. BAUER "A Bright Idea." Is it edible? Even though it isn't, it still creates a hunger for ice cream.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
DAVID SYKES "Light Breakfast." This image was shot in camera, on 4 x 5 transparency film. I commissioned model maker Ridley West to make me a four-foot-wide plate out of wood. It was shot in my studio with the plate attached to the wall.

WINNER (OBJECTS AND INTERIORS)
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
TYLER DARDEN "Archlight at Wilton." This photograph is part of a series documenting a historic, circa-1763 home in Middlesex, Virginia. This was photographed on Polaroid t55 film with a Speed Graphic and Xenotar lens.
LYNN GILBERT "Worldly Possessions." I find beauty and mystery in the real; I try to capture this essence in any space. Using patterns, textures, layers, depth and details, I aim for balance and harmony. Natural light frames, links and bathes all of my work.

NICOLA EVANS "Gran's Sofa." The worn-away patch on the carpet, the slightly squeezed-in cushion, beautifully textured patterns on the green velvet sofa, even the lightly detailed beige wallpaper, all represent Gran's home--the place we used to visit every Sunday. Now, unable to see this as time has moved on, how I would love to be there again.

JONATHAN DEVIA "Life." A wonderful lightning storm in Belize.

MARGUERITE GARTH "The Forsaken #24_Longing." The transcendent beauty of these abandoned ranches, located in the high desert of California, creates a yearning in me for a more simple way of life. This image is from the series "The Forsaken."
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
FAITH-ANN YOUNG "Parisian Ornaments." My aim was to make the photo look like a painting, so it mimics the assortment of art and sketches within the shot. Therefore, the subject of the photo--Parisian stylist, magic man and member of dance collective House of Drama, Aymeric Bergada Du Cadet--blends right in with the decadent interior of this unique apartment, almost like he is camouflaged. The interior proves that there is no such thing as "too much."
