It is with great pleasure that I announce the winners of the April 2025 Photography Contest here on Democratic Underground. The theme this month, chosen by ShazzieB, was “Aspirations! Aspirations are dreams, hopes, or ambitions to achieve a life goal. Synonyms: desire, hope, longing, yearning, wish, aim, ambition, dream.
First place goes to me, Grumpy Old Guy, for my photo “Finding Solitude,” an image of a lone horseman riding atop a mesa in the Navajo Tribal Park at Monument Valley.
Second place goes to HAB911 for their superb image “Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. 02/09/2022." Photos as good as this don’t just happen by accident. I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to read HAB911’s description of the great lengths they went to in order to capture this amazing image. You can find it in reply #39 in the contest thread. Here is a link to that thread. https://democraticunderground.com/100220263975
Third place goes to Kxs and their photo “Desire, hope, longing, yearning…aspiration.” To be honest, as I was running the contest I thought that this was going to be the winner. I voted for this one because I admired both the subject and the artistry of the black and white image.
It’s always fun to run the DU photo contests, even if it is time consuming and a little nerve wracking. Thanks to all who entered, and thanks to all who voted and took time to leave a comment. This was a challenging theme, and we had some great entries.
