embarrassment of riches

when i became serious about photography last year i joined http://www.betterphoto.com/

and took a class. that decision opened up a world of networking with

amazing photographers and learning from their talent

and experience. betterphoto runs an international photo contest and i have been fortunate to

win  2nd place twice and have been a finalist as well several times. i also started participating at http://www.digitalimagecafe.com/ last fall and  my image "sunlit" was picture of the month in the still life category for  February!

"glad you are here , it makes me realise how beautiful the world is"

placed 3rd in their valentines theme

it was such an exciting day when those were announced. i never thought i would reach that level and it made me realize that my efforts are paying off!
