The Winners – Guess The Theme
Wednesday, December 24, 2008 6:00
After one month of images and lots of good attempts from you to guess the theme, it’s time to announce the winners and tell you what the theme actually was. I’ve actually decided to award two prizes to two winners. They will each win the photo of their choice in a size that’ll look good hanging on a wall.
So onto the results. The first winner was Ashish. Back on December 3rd he made a guess that was correct in the details, but slightly off in the overall name. But it’s the details that count, so congratulations Ashish. Let me know which photo you’d like.
And the second winner was Dalbanese who made his guess a week later and followed on from Ashish’s reasoning to make a formal guess that was correct in name as well. Congratulations Dalbanese, a photo will be coming your way. Just let me know which one you want.
So the actual theme this past month was “The English Alphabet”. Here’s how they fit each letter.
Airplane / Airport / Arrival
Beach / Board
Construction
Deep Fryer
Engineer
Fantasy / Fiction
Gate
Heron
Intoxication
Jump
KMT / Kuomintang
Looking
Maritime / Marina
Never Again
Owl
Protest / Polar bear
Quick
Red shirt army
Swimming
Taiwanese identity (if you’re green) / Thief (if you’re blue)
Umbrella
Victory
Wind / Windpower
Ximending
Yellow
Zoo

Oh boy, I thought way too complicated. Nice riddle thought, even it takes away the “work” for the next photography club challenge for you already.

Whoa :-O that was a WILD guess
but I will take it 
Thanks a ton Craig. I feel honored to have won one of your photos. First of all it was beyond difficult to guess. All the pictures are class and chosen very beautifully to represent the alphabets. Its even more difficult for me to pick one favorite among them now than making the theme guess LOL. Will let you know after I decide.

Well done Ashish, great job Craig. I thought I was on to something with Taiwan being thrown into the Deep Fryer on day 4. It did go rather pear shaped after that:-)
I look forward to some more theming and scheming next year.
