We received almost 500 entries to the best stock photo contest and I must admit that there were a lot of really great photos submitted this year, which makes the judging very hard. The judges and I are still working hard on selecting the winner, but we are down to the top 5 images in no particular order.

Although we are listing the top 5 here, there will only be one winner who will receive the $1000 grand prize. Stay tuned, the winner will be announced on the 14th.
