Inside–Outside Connection Challenge

Wow, we had a great response to this challenge and have some exceptional results.
It must be said though, that we knew this challenge was more complex than others, more difficult for some to fully comprehend.

We asked you to connect something that was inside with something outside. Of course, images based on selfies would have been too simple. Inside “something” and outside “something”; we left the interpretation to you. We wanted shots that told a story, where possible. If there was a connection, all the better.
The important thing was to understand the magic of the concept, to go further, not just to look for simple images. Someone, for example, posted the image of a mother expecting a child and whilst this was a very clever interpretation of “inside” it didn’t get recognition in the votes. Have to be honest, what we were looking for was also the “unexpected”. Not easy to understand, not so straight forward but some got it.
Despite the difficulties, this challenge did prove to be a success. Many participants and great pictures are exemplified by the top four, really professional-looking images. A multitude of others adds to the overall quality of the collection, exhibiting a great variety of sensations, in both colour and black/white.
Here for your viewing pleasure are the results.
