The
Photo Contest:
"Orange"
Contests that involve colors always bring out the best
images. This contest, "Orange", was no different. These were the finest
images we have seen in a long time. It was hard to choose so I have
included a few more "Honorable Mentions" than usual.
This time we chose
"Sunset
Colors, New Mexico"
by Simone Sbaraglia as our Grand Prize Winner. Not only did
Sbaraglia
produce an image appropriate to the theme, but the composition
and quality of the image were outstanding. Looking at it, one cannot
help being impressed by the depth of the image. The viewer is literally
drawn into it. The slight darkening of the edges as well as the
placement of the elements such as the grasses in the foreground, and the
lines created by the clouds and the horizon all serve to pull the
viewer's eye deep into the image.
Sbaraglia wins a
Nikon Coolpix L3 Digital Camera from Central Camera Co.,
the
Shuttermom Gold Package from shuttermom.com,
and
Power Retouche
Photoshop plug-ins for high quality photo editing, retouching and
image editing.
Our Runner-up goes to Patricia Verburg's
image
"Mushrooms,
Korea".
We liked the use
of complementary colors in the composition as well as the
arrangement of the mushroom within the image. The texture of the
mushroom as well as the color provides a visual interest that hold
the viewer.
Verburg
will receive a
copy of
ACDSeePro by ACDSystems.
Congratulations to the Honorable Mentions in this
contest. All of the images made clear statements about the power of
orange, and were excellent photographs as well.

your images, please be sure to read over the submission
