    2007 off to a great start

    The results from the first competition of 2007 are in.

    Beginner - color - animal - 1st place
    Beginner - color - animal - 3rd place
    Beginner - color - people - HM
    Beginner - mono - people - 1st place

    I submitted 5 images, 4 placed. The total images submitted was approx 300. The people photos are concert shots (celebrities), and the animals are 2 peacock photos which have been posted here before.

    Hopefully the "southwest photo safari" will produce more material for the rest of the year. Now, if I could just sell some.

    Thanks for the support and guidance folks.

    Re: 2007 off to a great start

    Ok, here there are. I was a bit surprised considering the number of entries. We are indeed our own worst critics.


    Peacock with tail feathers - 1st place
    Peacock portrait - 2nd place
    b&w guitar player - 1st place
    color guitar player (same band, different show) - honorable mention

    Thanks again for the congrats all.
