The Crestock Photo Contest: Round 2 Winner Announcement

There were plenty of worthy entries in the second round of our contest, but only one gets the big prize. Read on to find out who, and thanks to everyone who participated!
The theme for this round was 'Feeling Sexy?'. The first round had its controversies derived from the rather vague theme, which had people questioning to what extent images did show "The meaning of life" or any element thereof. The second round, despite having a less abstract theme, was no less controversial, indeed, a contest on the subject of "feeling sexy?" is bound to make some noise. Is a waft of purple smoke sexy? Can a sexy feeling be conveyed in a photo without showing naked flesh?
Below are the top entries, as singled out by our judges and the public.
The Winner of Round 2, a Nikon D40x and Adobe Photoshop CS3 is:
Right Here.... by Ilina If the question was
'can feeling sexy be conveyed without showing naked flesh?', the answer, according to most judges and a lot of the public is
yes, something this self portrait illustrates in supreme style. Congratulations!
Second place goes to:
Sexy Pose by Guitarman74uk The runner up won the popular vote by showing body and curves in a semi-abstract composition without being explicit. A study in simplicity, this B&W photo is in essence a set of lines and curves that manage to convey a sexy feeling.
And in third place:
The Way by Wojtekk In third place we find this photo which can best be described as striking, with its smooth curves and strong contrasts. The thing that really puts it apart from the rest is a quite small detail in the middle right portion of the photo. It might not be the first thing you notice, but once you do, you can't help having an opinion about it, ranging from shock and awkardness to delight. An excellent idea!
