Image Of The Week Awards

[dondiego]

Here are images deserving of first, second and third price so I will name them in that order even dough only the first place receive a price. I think it is important to mention that Kelly Lynne, Mack and Julie had shown consistency and focus in their work. In other words their work has direction and their images are the by-product of conscientious effort and in my humble opinion that is very important in and artist. A photographer body of work must have direction and their work shows that. I have chosen not to make any comments as to why I selected ea. Image for the simple reason that I strongly feel the image must speak for it self. I only hope these images move you the way they have move me. This has not been a simple task but a very delightful one CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL.
