Excuse me for blowing my own trumpet but ...

There is a local community festival called Weerama

They have a photographic competition of things taken in the council area of Wyndham (VIC) in the last 12 months. I found out about this competition 2 days before the entries were due in, and had decided to submit my Cliffs at Werribee river.

I spoke to the organiser on the day before entries were due, and she mentioned I should look around in my collection for anything else I could submit, as they only had a few entries.

I looked in my processed pile, and then looked in my "reject" pile. I picked this photo out, played with the contrast and curves and had it printed, and put it in a frame I had at home.

I found out last night that I won the Open Competition with the Sunset at Werribee South (and won $100 cash, + my photo printed on canvas at 30"x20" + $400 worth of vouchers from Teds)

Woohoo!!

Congratulations! It is certainly a beautiful image - both of them are.

The cliffs one is spectacular. It uses that nice warm light perfectly. Great Job. I think i would love to see that one blown up, as apposed to the second one.

Wow...I love the first one for it's tones as well as the reflection. On top of that, the composition too! In fact, everything is it. Hmmm.....I'm too hyper I guess!!!

A job well done! Congrats on the win....

#1 is magic Russell and congratulations on your win In a perfect world how good would that first one be if you could accidentally pull out that bush in the bottom of the frame stopping that beautiful reflection of the cliff and its trees. Perhaps even moving a little to the left if possible. Gorgeous colours an scene all the same
cheers
