Since starting less than two months ago, our Flickr community has quickly flourished and now includes contributions from 170 talented photographers. If you're interested in seeing quality photography done with compacts, our pool is a great place to start.

The theme of our first contest was "Natural Textures", and we were fortunate to receive 21 fantastic entries. The voting period is over, and I am happy to announce the winners.
