<h1>MyPictureDay #16 Contest Winners</h1><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>
<p><em>Thank you to everyone who participated in the sixteenth MyPictureDay photography challenge. You gave me a really hard time picking the winners. In round #15 some Steemians did a very good research and found out that some of the pictures that were among the winners were much older than the rules allow. Since I already announce them as winners the rewards are still theirs. However, with this round, we will double check every single post. Read the following rules carefully to avoid being disqualified! MyPictureDay is about going out, taking pictures and share your passion. It's about telling stories and capture moments for us. Using old pictures is against the essence of this contest.

There were many good entries and I proudly present you the first three places and some honorable mentions!</em></p>
