I won a local photo competition

[EddieWalker]

A local Chamber of Commerce had it's 4th annual photo competion last week and I took first place in the Landscape category with a picture of Lake Marabou. I also took second place in the Nature category with this picture of a butterfly.

A friend who likes the pics I post on facebook told me about the competion and suggested that I enter. I created a photo album on there and had friends comment on what they liked. Some even suggested other pics that I didn't include. What is amazing to me is that the pics that I thought where pretty good didn't make the cut, and the ones that everyone liked are pics that I wasn't too thrilled about. The one that took first place wasn't even in my original pics!!!!


I never tried this before, so it's a nice feeling to have done well.

Yeah they look great! You deserved to win.

I take hundreds of pictures a year but none are ever good enough to even enter a contest with.

Mostly pictures of my work, but some of them are on historic buildings, I try to frame interesting shots but none ever come out good
