CAS Photo Art

Managed to receive two ribbons for this judged competition.

Honorable Mention for color.

"Magnolia Rest" on ChromaLuxe Aluminum.

3rd Place for Monochrome.

"Interpret This" on ChromaLuxe Aluminum.

A few simple rules such as only being permitted to enter two photographs. The other requirement was the photograph of the bird must have been taken in Florida. I entered two photos that were shoot in Sarasota.

The panel of four judges narrowed down the entries into the "Top 20".

From there the photos were printed on 8x10 and displayed in the Audubon Center where the public could vote on the photos. In addition, online voting was permitted.

The final 20 was quite impressive and tough choices laid ahead for the public.

"Intensity" by the people's vote came in 3rd Place!

Honorable Mention B&W ~ "New Castle"

Amateur

Early one morning, I headed down to see one of the tall ships in Old New Castle, DE. The fog was slowly lifting that morning.

Honorable Mention Color ~ "Trio"

Amateur

This was taken down in Lido Key, FL. These are three pelicans taking off from the Gulf and I experimented with the colors, the whites, the blacks, the contrast and just boosted them to create this artistic impression.

1st Place for B&W ~ "Fondness"

Amateur

Being on a safari, you are scoping around constantly looking for that special moment. In addition trying to take it all in as it doesn't seem real. Then you realize, how special it is to be there and the gravity of the experience. Very thankful...

Honorable Mention for Color ~ "Double Beauty Again"

Amateur

Sometimes you don't believe what you see in front of you. Then you get as low as possible trying to capture the moment. Hoping, you don't frighten the toad in this instance.

Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa

I will have to retake the photo as there is glare in my office from the overhead fluorescent light. In addition, a seam is almost in the middle which outlines the light from above.

Just made site active and continue to modify while making enhancements.

I have added a personal story for each photograph. Giving a glimpse of the moment and thought process for each photograph truly brings them to a new level.

*Photo taken at the store. Items have been moved due to COVID crisis and the retail business. Will advise when they are back into a retail store or art gallery.
