One day down, two to go in the journey to name the next Photographer of the Year. Yesterday we told our hundreds of hopefuls to capture their names creatively in a photograph. The results are in and they are as varied as the names themselves.

Shooter Eric Eley from Athens, GA called Day One "the most difficult day of shooting I've ever had." But it wasn't all blood sweat and tears, he also said that he "had a blast" and has found the competition so far a lot of fun. What does Eley think of today's assignment? "You guys aren't messing around!" he says. No we're not. After all, $5,000 and one of the most coveted titles in photography is at stake.

Here are some of our favorites from yesterday's round of competition
