Thanks for locating and sharing the contest files. Awesome! It seems it is always about the photographer and their vision, skill, good fortune, and perhaps software in or out of camera. Most folks only want an eight by ten for less so cell phones are serious competition against expense glass at that level. Cell phones are certainly far less bulky.
At 8x10, cellphones are more than serious competition, especially with someone who knows what they are doing photography wise. The photos that Linda linked to us more than proves that. Even my wife, who has a great sense for composition and no real photography knowledge, can get some shots that make me wish they were mine. Her photos fall apart only when she goes beyond the cellphone's limits.
