MyPhotoSchool Photography Contest Winner!
So we are delighted to announce that the winner of a MyPhotoSchool online photography course is Stephen Marshall with his photograph ‘Blue Angels’:
This photograph stood out for its simplicity. The photographer has captured stunning light, and an unusual composition. The stormy background, sets off the side-lit smoke trail beautifully - creating a unique and striking photograph.
Highly Commended: Cynthia Clayton has brought us pin sharp focus on a small fast moving object which is incredibly difficult capture. The stunning reflection and incandescent shades of blue make it an award winning photograph
Neal Alan Sacheck has given us a high quality compelling black and white image - treated with great sensitivity, this smoking rifle is the most compelling. Great DOF, interesting draws you in to the subject with great drama
We liked Angel Dias’s - photo of the dancers behind bars for its quirky and unusual composition
We would also like to highly commend - Mike Shields, Series of Landscapes and Flower Photography - of a very high standard. The macro shot featured left we found particularly stunning with great use of Depth of Field and sensitive colours.
Mike Barwood's portrait of a girl dreaming was beautifully light with excellent depth of field
Barry McBeth’s photo of a Camasia was also striking. A beautiful light, superb DOF and lovely bokeh
James Kelly – we felt these portraits were particularly sensitive - we particularly like the dancers
Svana Sig – Svana’s landscapes demonstrate a good use of foreground, mid and distance proportions to draw you into the photography.
Mike Caine has given us this beautiful photo of a dragonfly. The DOF is spot on - with a wonderful background of soft green foliage
It is what it is.
