May 2015 Print Competition!

A big thank you to our judges Joe Brady and Diane Bollen for helping us out with our print competition, and a big congratulations to our winners! This month we introduced a new category titled RAW. The idea behind this category is to further challenge ourselves as photographers to do our best at getting the images as perfect as possible right out of camera. The elements we are NOT judged for in this category are things llike color correction and presentation, as members are submitting a RAW file with absolutely no adjustments. Next Print Competition is September 2015- we look forward to seeing your images there!!
