I have really exciting news...the photo I just recently put in a juried show got "best of show" and $500!!!! I put in my volcano picture "Risking His Life for a Thrill" (25 March 2017 main album).
The hummingbirds have discovered the Lucifer Blooms and I got to play with capturing them...one of my favorite summer activities.
Thanks much for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Congrats!!! As soon as I read that you'd gotten best in show, that photo came to mind. I'm not at all surprised -- so great! And followed up with a beauty of a hummer shot.
@taffy I had to laugh cause I love that shot and think it is one of my best ever, but a month or two ago I entered it in the Columbia council of camera clubs judging and it got 19 ( out of possible 27!) I was aghast. They gave me a 25 for a shot that I see as ho hum!
That is such wonderful news - I remember how awesome that shot was. This is another definite winner - details, lighting, composition - needs to be entered somewhere! Fav
I'm rapt to hear that your volcano image got the recognition it richly deserved. IMHO it was one out of the box, and one I can still recall in some detail. I like today's image, but it's not up the volcano's lofty standard.
Congrats on Best in Show, outstanding prize!!
Congratulations on your winning photo. It's an awesome shot. Enter it in some other contests!
