The wait is over; it’s time to announce the community voted winner of December 2017’s #FP4party. The 783 images posted by you during post week were whittled down to 28 by the FP4P panel and of those, your votes went on to crown one winner.

Can you please explain why the winner was chosen? It’s a great image for sure, but if this is about showing off the best of FP4, cpturing highlight details, smooth tones etc., then why did award it to an image that has blown highlights? There’s clearly no detail in the arm and in the left corners the highlights are blown. In the nicest way possible, isn’t the winners image an example of what ” not” to do when shooting FP4?
Kevin, the winning each image for each film party is chosen by the community through an open vote. As the first sentence in the article states:
