1st Place...Yippee!!!

Last night I got an email from [AG]WPJA. It announced the winners of the last 2008 photo contest. This was the first time I have entered any photo contest. I am not big into contests. My goal has always been to be my own biggest critic, and please my clients. Though I gotta say it was nice to have a critical review of my work. Here are the judges remarks, "Outstanding image. Aside from cleaning up the background just a little to remove a few areas that take the eye away from the subjects, this is truly a special image. The position of the subjects and the expressions on their faces peering through the door all help to make this image excel. This is clearly the best image in this category and it is right up there with the best in all the categories."
Here is the link to the contest winners. Below is my 1st place image. I guess I should enter more contests. This was pretty fun:)

Erich, I am so proud of you bro! While I agree, it doesn't matter what the critics say, it must be pretty sweet to be recognized by your artistic guild as one of the best. The judge couldn't be more right, "clearly the best image in this category." Not even close.

Congrats! Congrats also for having a picture so stunning that two teachers and a student noticed it when I walked away and left my reader up with your blog entry prominently displayed.

I forgot to add. We all know that there are many more in your portfolio that could have won this contest. Not to mention that this was unequivocally the best one in all categories. I assure you that this is an unbiased, objective opinion.
