The January PhotoWorks Rendering Contest showed a variety of high quality renderings which made the voting difficult. Votes were received steadily the first couple of days and images #13 (Joshua Sternthal) and #14 (Lin Shaodun) were the front runners. The votes for image #9 (Chris Lanahan) made a late charge but weren't enough to take the lead. Once voting had finished Lin Shaodun had emerged as the winner.
Lin joins Jan Herud as being a three time PhotoWorks Contest winner. Congratulations to Lin for winning the January contest and to both Lin and Jan for achieving three time winner status. You can view all the January entries and create your entry for the February contest by visiting
