I spent much of the past week at the PPLA - Professional Photographers of Louisiana Convention.
One big part of the convention is the Photo Competition. i entered 4 prints and 3 of the 4 scored an 80 or above which puts them in a category "deserving of a MERIT". The 4th scored a 79.
All of the photos were displayed on the wall with other winners.
The New Orleans Custom House photo, named WARPED ARCHITECTURE, received 1st Place in the Electronic Imaging category.
After 2 years of competing, I've learned that getting 6 merit quality photos out of 6 entries is THE award to get. I can't get there by just entering 4 photos. BUT, 3 of 4 with merit scores (and the 4th missing by 1 point) is still an accomplishment so I'm very happy.
