I submitted 6 prints into the print competition. These are prints to compete against other PROFESSIONAL photographers in NC, SC and VA. I submitted Ringlets, Sisterly Love, Hmmmm?, Happiness is Satin, Touchable Feet and Top Hat.
All are photos I took in my first 6 MONTHS of business. Can you imagine?
Anyway… 80 is the mark of distinction. It’s the number all photographers are trying to reach. And, it’s HARD to get! No, I didn’t get one. But…
Sisterly Love got a 78! Woohoo! 2 points shy of the “mark!” I was SOOO excited to see that. The others were in the 74-76 range. I’ll pull them out tonight and note which got which.
What’s cool is that they all got “corners”. These are gold corners that are added to all photos with “merit” and I got 6! I didn’t even know that mattered!
The only comment I got was about flat lighting. I get that now. I see what to do. I’m gonna get an 80 next year. 🙂
