Photostuff challenges on deviantArt

Hey folks! Some of you may know deviantART (a.k.a dA) already -an art community- and photography is a major part of this community (among many wonderful others). And among all those artists, some of them created groups you can join (or create your own yours). #Photostuff is one of these groups managed by user =MarioGuti and he's doing a photography challenge each week based on themes. This is all done for free, nothing to win, just fun!
I took part in 2 of these challenges so far with the following photographs:

Challenge #6 - Silhouettes
Challenge #7 - In movement

° The first image for Challenge #6 (Silhouettes) has ended up ranked #5 on 47 submissions. You can see all submitted photographs here on dA website and the winner here.
° The second image for Challenge #7 (In movement) has ranked #3 on 28 submissions. You can see all submitted photographs here on dA website and the winner here.

Not bad uh... but not enough, hope to do better next time. I must admit though that the winners do deserve their #1 rank so congratulations to them!

How is the winner chosen?
Democratically, after challenge closing time (every friday), each photo is numbered and all users can vote for their 3 favorites during the week-end. Your first favorite will get 3 points, your second one 2 points and the third one 1 point. Results are given on mondays and next challenge takes place.
This week is Challenge #8 with theme "Yellow". I'll be participating as well so wish me good luck! :)

Challenges are good, they keep you in the loop and pushes you to get better and better each time, do participate as much as you can!
