WPPI Print Competition

I don't think I can possibly do a re-cap of the week that I was there, so I'll be posting little snippets here and there as I'm able to do so.
I entered the print competition again this year after having my humble success last year and I really didn't go in with high expectations because I really just wanted to learn from the experience. I was able to sit in one of the rooms during judging all day Saturday and I saw 7 of my prints judged. After they made their comments, I was able to understand why they said what they said. In the end, two of the prints scored an 80 which means they earned Accolades of Excellence. The remaining prints of mine earned scores from 75 to 78.

This is the first time one of my wedding prints has done well. It seems only my non-wedding work does well, which makes me wonder..........nah, the competition is pretty stiff so I can't expect too much. I just love the expression on this little boy's hands!



This one was taken in Colombia during my last missions trip and these boys had just finished with their bible class. I took it as I walked by and didn't have a chance to check my settings because I didn't have time to stop to properly take the shot.
