I would like to thank everyone for the support and participation. We had a lot of fun with this contest. I'm looking forward to a second contest and I'm hoping to have more participants.
Awesome! A big congratulations to Adam, Jim, Mike, and Shawn! I recall being close by when both Jim and Mike created their winning images...cool. :) Thanks to all those who participated in our GTG at Fort DeSoto...see you all around.
I am honored by the 1st place selection. I've learned a lot from all the BPN menbers and moderators this year and hope to learn a lot more in the years to come.
Real cool and congrats to all. I have an image almost like Adams that I made a Fort Desoto in 2004 with Artie on a private workshop I took with him. Same pose, crossed-legs and all.
I think the Reddish Egret could stand a new crop. The 3/4 body portrait crop would push this one over the top for me. The high key background with the red hairdo is exquisite.
