Just sharing a couple of my recent competition images. They did very well at our state image competition, and each received a merit at National.

This time every year, our state professional photography organization has its' main image competition. This was Sunday. My highest scoring images will go on to national competition, but it's the end of the competition road for some, so I'll be sharing a few in the coming weeks. Here's the first of 3 that I will be sharing.
Just a reminder... Any images on this page are for sale, prices determined by size and materials of the final print.

Just sharing my highest scoring image from print competition for the year.
"A Golden Production"
At our state competition, this image was awarded: 1st place in Illustrative, Master's division, ASP award, and people's choice. In International print competition, it was awarded image excellence.
I'll soon share other entries that did well and a couple that barely squeaked by for merit, but I like them. :)

Professional Photographers of America is having it's annual International Print Competition this week. I entered 4 images to be judged for merit and imaging excellence. These two images did NOT merit. I'm a little bummed but it gives me motivation for next year. The shell is titled "Motion of the Ocean" and the flower is "Recently Separated". I have 2 other images that did merit and are going on to be judged for imaging excellence. I'll post them after the judging is finished.

Fun with Flowers! Took a little time to photograph and work on images of one of my anniversary orchids today.

Playing... (I mean working) with one of my favorite subjects this afternoon! I love photographing orchids! Here, I've added an oil painting effect. I'm sure other versions of this will follow, but I like this one. :) title: Bow down!

I've been inspired to work on some artistic photos lately. "Sand or Snow" is a temporary title for this one. Don't know if that will stick though. This was taken at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. In summer 2017. :) Enjoy

Since we haven't had the opportunity to take a vacation for quite some time, I decided to go over some older photos that I have taken on various trips. This is "Utah Red". It was taken in 2014 in Arches National Park. I applied a couple of artistic filters and love the result!

"Round And Round She Grows" This is one of my 2020 competition images that received a merit score in our recent Professional Photographers of Louisiana print competition. :) I was excited that each of my 6 images merited, and several won awards.
