Not nearly as impressive as Jackie

[D._Craig_Flory]

Hi group;

I'm about to leave for the 2nd of the 4 days of our Pa. convention. I didn't do nearly as well as Super Jackie but .. here are my results. We can enter four 16X20's and I got3 award of Quality 77's and an award of Excellence 80. I'll post all 4 asap but the 80 was of the geese. I ended up using the title "Hut, Two, Three, Four". There some amazing images entered and I was able to watch the judging for about a half-hour.

I gave the certification exam to two photographers Sunday morning starting at 11:00AM and both were finished by 12:10PM so they were pretty confident and knew their stuff.

Ok ... I off to Harrisburg now. See you all soon.

I loved the image of the geese.

Hi group;

In answer to questions, I did get to sit in on the judging and today some of the judges critiqued my geese image that got the blue ribbon with a score of 80. Here are the first two images that got a score of 77 which is an award of quality. The farm was titled "Times Gone By".



And, the Jack Russell Terrier was titled "Jack in the Basket".

Hi group;

This next one was a senior portrait I did by a creek in a nature park near me. It was titled "Communing With Nature". On the low key images, they look much better under the judging lights and this senior portrait could have been printed down more.



And here is my blue ribbon, 80 score image, which was titled "Hut, Two, Three, Four". In the print critique the judges all said how much they liked the fine art feel I gave it. The one negative comment was that I had the white feathers above the back feet a bit too bright. They also said that they like even numbers in an image and would have liked it more with 3 geese. Enjoy;
