So very happy!!!!! :-)

54/365
I am so happy!!!! Last night was the image of the year competition at camera club. There are monthly competitions held throughout the year, and the images that placed first, second, or third during the monthly competitions are eligible to be in the image of the year competition. I am thrilled because I won in 2 categories. Here are my winning images:
Open Intermediate Digital Winner
Titled: "Available Light"


Assigned Category (Portrait) Digital Winner
Titled "My Buddy Eric"

It was such an exciting night featuring the best of the best. I am so happy for the other winners as well. There were so many fantastic photos and I'm really proud to be a member of a club with so much talent!
The Specs:
Todays photo of the day: Panasonic LX3, ISO 80, 1/8, f2.8, vignette added in post

  3. Carol: I've only known you a short time and from the onset, I knew you had this incredible untapped talent that is just blossoming daily! Congrats on this win!

    As always, I keep telling you that bigger things are coming your way with your photography! I expect that in the near future, I will see one of your stellar photos in a magazine! I just know it! :)

    You go girl!
