Lots of nice shots up on the boards this week, and the travel challenge had a lot of intesting things….including crabs…Oh well.. After about a half gallon of joe.. here’s my picks
P&P - Mark Jones and …”Oh those Menghun eyes”". The details and texture of that gal really pull you in. Nice portrait, as you put her at ease for the shot……………………..
Travel Challenge - We had just about everything you could imagine…even Walters crab,… but Toni Lankerds “Natures Sculpture” was superb. A stock shot if I ever saw one. Simple and eye catching….Very nice…and Walter, your our runnner-up, love that little guy.
T&0 - a great action shot, theme was timely as its “Rodeo time” in Iowa…it could only be Dave Uhlig and his shot of “Carson Iowa Rodeo”. Wonderful B&W and what a lucky guy to get invited up to the fence to get some shots…..I know I’d like to see more…..how about it Dave??
Congrat’s to our winners this week …………keep the great images coming!!
