Stephane Rouxel won 3rd place, a free tutorial from the Fstoppers Store.
Andrés Sandoval Vidal won 2nd place and iVanky's 20-in-1 Thunderbolt Dock
Paul Papanek won first place, and Tamron's 70-180mm 2.8 lens

Fstoppers' photography contests/critiques are back, and now the prizes are bigger than ever.
For our November contest, the theme is portrait photography and we are particularly interested in faces and expressions.
3rd place wins any tutorial from the Fstoppers Store.
2nd place wins the iVanky 20-in-1 thunderbolt dock for MacBook pro computers. You can see my full review of this dock here.
1st place wins the Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 lens with a Sony, Nikon, or Canon mount.
1. Each contestant may submit up to three images
2. Images this month must be related to portrait photography
3. Each image submitted must include a description of the photograph. We want to know how it was taken, the gear used, and any post-processing you did to it. Images without a description will be disqualified.
4. Each photographer is only allowed to win one grand prize/year and one tutorial/year but they may still submit images to, and be featured in all 12 contests.
5. Everyone is encouraged to rate and comment on everyone's submitted photos but the highest-rated image will not necessarily win the grand prize.
The deadline for this contest is November 29th. Around December 1st we will review our favorite 10 images and announce the winner of the grand prize on the Fstoppers Youtube Channel.

Lets see if a beautiful person portrait wins. :)
The ratings on some of these images are shockingly low. I hope people understand that rating other people's images low does not make theirs better. This is a community, not a competition. The judges will rate the images as they see fit. Show some love.
I can pretty much guarantee it.
Is that a good thing?
