6/10/04 - Selected as a TOP 10 Print for 2003/4 competition year at MWCC. To demonstrate the subjectiveness of judging, there were 54 1st prize winners from the 2003-4 competition year (& nearly the same number of 2nd's and 3rd's - plus numerous honorable mentions, etc.) eligible for the TOP 10 awards. Here is a 2nd place Novice winner chosen ahead of almost 50 1st place winners. The photos that won 1st on the night this image took 2nd didn't make the top 10. I'll bet that the judge is a Freeman Patterson fan. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
2nd place - Color Print -5/20/04 - Theme: Flowers - Manassas Warrenton Camera Club
Focus on far bluebells & then shoot through the near - ala Freeman Patterson.
