In April/May, the club held a contest where we were to work with “color” and submit two photos. On June 5, each photo was critiqued and constructive criticism given after which contest winners were selected. No one knows whose photos they are until after judging is completed.
My two submissions placed in the top four to my great delight.
Fourth Place—I fell in love with the peach-like velvety leaves and colors in this rose. The colors were too soft for the judges, they wanted more color.
Second Place—You'll recognize this as a box of embroidery floss. Although the depth of field and other details worked well, where I went wrong was blowing out the red colors on the right.
There are lots you can do with your photos. I used one of my rubber duck photos to make invitations to our annual pool party (last Saturday). I printed each photo on my HP Photosmart printer. Party details were printed on the back by flipping the photos over in the printer.
Magnets glued onto the bottom of tiny rubber ducks made a fun way for folks to post them on their fridge as reminders.
Hugs!

Your photography is amazing, and I can see why you placed. Those invitations are wonderful. Every time I come here I know there is something amazing waiting, and somehow you never disappoint.
Congratulations on the photos! I minored in photography in college, so I know how the critiquing is nerve wracking. After seeing your beautiful photos, I think it's time to dust off those old skills and start taking the time to edit my photos! The ducky invitations are so cute!
Wow - those are beautiful photos. Great job, June and congrats on placing! I'm guessing everything you touch comes out beautifully.
What kind of camera do you use? Beautiful pics! ~D
I love the rose. What beautiful pictures. Congrats on doing so well.
Lovely photos!
Have a fun pool party!!!!
Love your flip flops!!!! So colorful and ccccute! And to think you made them, makes them extra special.
Peach ice cream! My favorite, too!
You are a busy "duckie"! You continue to be a great inspiration. :-) Rosie
I really like those pictures, especially the yellow rose, I like how the peach is dispersed through the yellow.
What adorable invitation and what a great idea using the duck magnets.
Hugs!!!!
You have mad photography skills, sister! I'm so proud of you.
Just beautiful! Congratulations!!! I want to work on my photography skills, too.
I love the purse, too. I love how you have such varied interests! You are always busy doing some fun thing! Hugs, Leslie in tx
Gorgeous photos June, impossible to think you are learning.
Congratulations on your photo success June. You always have the best, inspiring ideas!
You are indeed very lucky to have opportunities in your community to learn new skills, June.
I'm happy that your photographs did so well in the contest -- their colors were wonderful!
Have fun at your pool party! Hope the monsoons don't come while you are celebrating.
Hugs, Pat
These are stunning. My photos wobble and blur because I drool at the face of technology of any sort. Here from Mrs. G's blog roll. . .
Oh June! I am always in such AWE of you! You are such a talent! I have missed you.
Hugs and come for a visit!
the photography club must be a great thing to participate in; you're very fortunate. I love the photos and can see why they placed so high. And, what grand ideas for the invitations. Using the cute photos was super but adding the ducky magnet was brilliant!
