Second Place and Artist Features
Ok so I logged on today to find that my photo had come second place in the All Things Orange group Radiant Orange Flower challenge
What a wonderful surprise and a great way to end my weekend! Thank you to all of those who voted for me, and congratulations to everyone who participated, I was incredibly impressed with all the entries. And as such, I decided to celebrate my good fortune and kick off my journals with a massive feature of the artists who placed in the top ten. So below you will find each of the works that are featured in the top ten, as well as some gems from their respective galleries. They’re all linked, so feel free to click on them and go give these well-deserving artists some love and encouragement!
Cheers,
Damienne

Damienne Bingham replied
Thanks Kasey! There were so many awesome photos, I had to share!
I just wish I could figure out how to space them out a little bit, there must be a way to format journals better! lol

Congratulations, Damienne! That IS a great shot!
BTW, are you still doing your macros without a tripod? (can’t believe you get away with it so well . . .)
Damienne Bingham replied
Thanks John! And yes haha I’m still too lazy to get the tripod out, actually I did get it out but now it’s sitting in the backroom, setup but gathering dust! ;) (I left it up in the hopes that it would inspire me to use it haha no such luck!)
