The winner of CW's April photo contest is community member Ralph, who must have felt like a tropical Moses when he snapped this image of Venezuela's Los Roques islands.bodyIt's getting harder and harder to win CW's monthly photo contests. In recent months, judges have browsed so many beautiful photographs, they're beginning to take stunning sunsets and idyllic islands for granted. This month's winning photograph, "Los Roques," by community member Roger, delivered the resplendent visuals the judges have come to expect--turquoise water, white beach, blue sky--with a compositional twist. In the photo, a long spit of sand divides two patches of water, giving the viewer the sensation of being at the precise point at which two vast seas divide. If Moses had plied the tropics, maybe this is what he would have seen.

This month's judges included senior editor Mark Pillsbury, associate editor Kitty Martin, designer Elizabeth Wishe, online business analyst Lisa Julius, and online producer Pete Matchett. Congratulations to the winners, and keep the photos coming!
