Wow, did all of you see those entries this weekend?!

If you haven't, visit the steemitphotochallenge tag and sort by new! Vote for your favourites.

With great trepidation and trembling I'm here to announce my picks for SPC#8, there were so many images of high quality it was really difficult — as usual!! I've added more than usual to be rewarded.

Notice

The user Hive account@sandeepachetan has been accused of plagiarising. Unfortunately, that user made it through the competition without being caught, it was only after the theft was awarded, and for that I sincerely apologise. I take plagiarism very seriously with this contest and I really hate that somebody got through doing it.

That said, that account has been banned from the contest for life.
