Last year, 2023, was the first time in my life I ever entered any sort of photography contest. I submitted the maximum allowed images (4) and to my total surprise, I actually won first place in the adult amateur division. (Funny thing was, the picture that won was the one I felt had the worst chance of winning)

I decided to enter again this year, and again I'm entering the maximum four images allowed. It's always hard to decide which images to submit, but these are the four I have decided to enter this year (you can't re-enter photos that you have entered in past contests).

Point Loma, CA Black and White​

I'm a little skeptical on the AMATEUR part! Those are amazing! And a such a great mix -- black & white and color, landscape, astronomy, animals, and even astronomy plus landscape plus cityscape.

Pity you're limited to four, I'd like to see how one of your "star path" photos (the one you called a mistake) would do.

Yeah, well, they base it on chronological age and not how we behave. Otherwise...

Hey Basil, I sent you a PM, did you get it?
 
Basil said:
Yes, sorry I didn't reply (I just did). We were on vacation and I wasn't doing much with the site for the past several days.

No worries. :smile:
 
Thanks Basil! :smile:

I am going to show her a poorly printed screen shot to see if it is something she would like. Would hate to spend the $$$ and have her not like or want it. I think she will like it though. I'll let you know after I show it to her.

Thanks again!! (y):smile:(y)

Well, the fair had their preview night last night and I learned that I took one third place (The black and white of Point Loma) and two "honorable mentions" - the horses and the moon shot.

Congratulations! My favorite is the horses.
