Ingenious interpretation of the 52 theme with great contrast and clarity. The diagonal gives a dynamic and attention grabbing perspective to the shot and while there were other piano shots, this was my favourite and a worthy Top 10 image. Thank you.

A great shot of awesome detail and great technique. I've taken it on trust (as I did with several entries) that the 52 is not a piece of post production Photoshop trickery, but whatever is the case this entrant is a worthy winner of a Top 10 judge's badge!

Beautifully ethereal and a great interpretation of the 52 theme. I like the way the viewer is led through the arch of the bridge towards horizon, but the bridge numerical legend is also pin sharp and, in its own way, a significant part of the image.

My favourite of the shots that referenced trains, boats and planes. I like the simplicity of the composition and the symmetry. I also like the fact that this entry focuses firmly on the number 52, not a composite numeral that has the digits 5 and 2 among them.

I love the painterly muted colours and the graphic simplicity of the composition. For me, the best of the entrants that showed 52 as a door number. Great focus control and Iove the symmetry and centrality of the 52 motif. Thanks for a great entry.

The best of the entries that referenced a route number, and the attractive model brings glamour and human interest to a contest that was ostensibly about numerals, which are often associated with maths and seen as quite boring and mechanistic. Nothing boring about this shot. Well done!

In this contest I would love to see your photos showing an interpretation of the number 52. From calendars to playing cards, the number carries a lot of symbolism, or maybe it is just the number of your local bus route. The numerals 5 and 2 do not need to appear in the image, but the overall context should make the number clear to the viewer. Colour or black and white images in any genre are welcome.
