Omar Shine, for this killer image here. Great composition, color, and story. Points for abstraction. Congrats Omar. Everyone please shower him with praise. Omar is from the great country of Canada, so it’ll be up north that I’m mailing my phone. (Omar, please contact me offline about getting it to you.)
IMPORTANT: in addition to Omar’s winning shot, there were 3500 images submitted in just a couple of days, with some absolutely stunning work therein. Seriously. As such, I have posted a gallery of my favorite one hundred images with photographer names on each. This gallery is REMARKABLE. Please pay a visit. A good chunk of this work stands up to a lot of the work I see in the industry, regardless of the the platform, mobile or otherwise. Pat yourselves on the back. And thanks for the fun.

[And btw, a personal aside: I found out my mom and dad entered some spoof images in the contest too. Scroll back thru the whole Facebook gallery of submissions if you want to see images of a strange goat tied to a car and a cactus shaped like a rabbit. my parents are funny and cooler'n hell...]
[Lastly, in case you missed it, this entry is the result of this earlier post.]

How about we make a Flickr page, only for cellphone images?
That would work way better than submitting the images to the Chase's fanpage.
Also, congrats to Omar!
@cw. i concur. our difference of opinion is what makes art cool.

Hey guys, sorry it took so long to jump on here, its been a crazy week with mid terms (sigh)…
I woke up at 6am that day to do a last minute cram for a mid term I had in 3 hours… I Went to my Apple branded slab of plastic and shook the mouse to see that my web browser was full screen with CJ's blog still up. My index finger cringed as it was having flashbacks of the last 12 hours – clicking the refresh button, and slamming the +R keys until they longer responded. (I’m sure that Dartanyon noticed an influx in hits from my IP, and thought “what the hell?”)
…So I figure, one last judo-chop shouldn’t hurt, so I did…. The screen refreshed, and at first I though I was still dreaming or something as I saw the pic I took glaring back at me.
I kept saying to myself that this can’t be right because there were a lot of amazing pics submitted, over 3500 to be exact.
My virtual beer/high five goes to Kevin Wyllie for the amazing shot of the Electronica concert….. Wicked bro, that shot gives me chills!
Anyways, thanks everyone for the kind words and shouts to Chase Jarvis for putting together a sik competition… Honestly, Chase doesn’t have to do anything more than take amazing photographs to support the photography community – and yet he continues to go beyond that and provide all of us here with his wealth of knowledge; from high speed flash photography and composite structure, to details on concept-2-completion.
I just gave Kevin my last virtual beer, but to Chase I think a virtual Planet will do just fine…haha
Peace!

WOW! That was taken with a camera phone? I guess I'll have to get rid of all my gear and start all over again. lol
Really, great shot
Levi Bethune's image would have been my pick. The way the light was interacting with the window and the toddler's fingers was almost alien.
Just goes to prove that the gear doesn't make the photographer.
Great winner and awesome selection in the gallery
Great picture!
You can shoot only special features of natures things. Your iPhone gave you a big complement here. Thank you so much for sharing pictures and your experience.
