Congratulations to the winners of the Canon Photo5 competition! If you haven't seen them already you can check out the 10 winning images in the Photo5 gallery.

Thanks to all who participated - I know we've mentioned it before but we were overwhelmed at the talent and creativity that shone through.

We've welcomed the responses on this blog and it's been great to tap into everyone's obvious passion for photography. The conversation that has developed, both positive and negative, will definitely be taken into account next year. We hope to make the competition bigger and better than ever before.

Thanks again for your contribution - we couldn't have done it without you!
