Orange is my color of choice! I found it in Utica, IL Oct 208 This is straight from my camera, and I was so amazed by the beauty it took my breath away…Imagine, coming down a stairway made of wood, turning to the left and pow! This hits you….Thank God I had my camera! / I used my OLYMPUS SP-570-UZ that I really enjoy. /

This is also available as cards and prints. All proceeds (100%) are going to the Wildlife Conservation Society for endangered species protection. Because without these animals I would never be able to bring their beauty to you, I am going to pledge to donate 100% of all of my sales proceeds from cards and prints of the imagery in this series here on Redbubble to Wildlife Conservation Society

It may be a ‘new’ version of an old shot …but is it improved…? hmm….thats the question…. (CLICK ‘next’ to compare….) The original untouched dawn mist was my 2nd ever post to rb with taken with my brand-new pocket fuji finepix A500… and it’s been the most popular shot in my gallery by far. It’s just reached the unbelievable figure of 100 faves – how awesome and mindboggling is that!! So this plus a new challenge gave me the idea of tweaking it slightly to see if it could be improved on . I fiddled with the jpg as camera raw in PS Els 6… / Comments, comparisons and suggestions most welcome as I’d love to know what you think….. Cheers and thanks everyone for all your awesome encouragement and support all along which has really got me hooked in and loving photography more than ever… Thanks so much for looking too.. ding / :)))) Captured just after dawn at Loch Voil near Balquidder in Scotland,
Challenge Winner – Birds in Flight, #12 Great Features Group There aren’t many things that bring me more joy than the companionship of the Black-Capped Chickadees that inhabit the woods behind our home. They visit us daily, and follow me along the trail whenever I go for a walk. I could be 3 property lines over and they will still follow me! It is not unusual for them to land on the end of my camera lens as I’m trying to frame a photo, or flutter around my legs, looking for their sunflower seeds. These little songbirds bring me more joy than I can ever truly express. What a gift they are! I would be filled with great sadness if they ever disappeared. They are a huge part of my passion for nature & wildlife photography and for capturing the beauty that surrounds us everywhere. This image was created by merging 2 of my chickadee in flight photos and then blending the sky together. Original images taken on my property in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. / / / More Chickadee Photos / View Renee Dawson’s Gallery / Image included in the CHICKADEE CALENDAR
Winner of the Surreal Phare Design Competition ~ Sadly now forgotten.. Yes its French, it ended up on a French beach in the Languedoc-Roussillon area, / the Government lost its nerve at the last moment and tried to hide it in the most remote part of France.. These days its quite a headache for the local council, they are sick of cleaning the linen covering and washing off the graffiti..

“Gaia – The Living Planet” is coming to life. All twelve people who have been involved in shortlisting and judging for the publication have been deeply moved by the works submitted. If our wonderful earth has hope, it is in the hope, vision and courage displayed by all the artists who have contributed. The overall category winners are below. We think you will agree that these works capture something exceptional. In a few weeks we will have finished the design of the book. This is not a quick process as we aim to honor the work and the importance of the Gaia itself through the quality of design of the final publication. When this is complete and the book is for sale we will announce all those who are to be published. / Read more about “Gaia – The Living Planet here and more about out 9 judges here Overall Visual Art Winner Dryad by Helena Nelson-Reed / One of the judges simply commented: “stunning art”. Helena’s interest in mysticism is melded in this image with a living vitality. This image has an otherworldly quality while shedding a light on our world in the here-and-now.  / Category Winners: Photography There were two winners in the category of Photography which scored the same marks from the judges. They show us Gaia from two different, but complementary angles. In Utero by Kitsmumma / The connection between our human vulnerability and the apparent solidity of the earth that nourishes us is beautifully portrayed in this fine artwork. The Covenant by Phil Thomson / The threat of loss and the promise of new life are framed in this single, beautiful image. / Category Winner: Traditional Evadne by Nadia Turner / This image has a delicacy of touch and depth of symbolism which took our collective breath away. Category Winner: Digital Image GAIA by Charles Winslow / The use of digital art at its finest to create an image impossible by any other medium – an earth mother completely apart of her world. Overall Writing Winners / Two written works got exactly the same marks from the judges. We certainly are not going to try and separate them. They both leave echos long after they are read. Holiday by abletsandtoast is in the words of one of our judges “An amazing piece, illuminating the relationship between people and place”. Boilingdown Creek by PinkElephant is as dry as “Holiday” was cold. The diversity of Gaia fully on display. Category Winner: Poetry A Gift of Flowers by Louise Kuskovski will leave you with a strange sense of sorrow as it hints at a greater meaning. Category Winners: Short Story Again we had two winners in the short story category and rather than splitting hairs we are splitting prizes. Benwerrin Road by Rainmemory will probably catch you by delicious surprise. Storm Joy by Panda65 has a depth of humanity that warms your fingers as you read.

They were able to assemble it in a day, as they used to follow the bison herds on the prairies. Much of their food, shelter, clothing and tools all came from the Bison. So when the herd moved, so did they. Many of their daily rituals revolved around nature. For example; The Tipi was made using 13 poles. The 13 poles in the tipi represents the 13 full moons we have in a given year….When you enter a tipi you go to the left and circle around in a clockwise direction. This represents the way of the sun…The door of the tipi always faces East, to meet the rising sun. The Plains Cree relied on the land to survive. It was sacred and they recognized that every living thing was of importance. Plus they only used what they needed. Things never went to waste. A good lesson we SHOULD all be following today. I serve as an interpreter at the Center, and this is part of the written teachings, as we take the children through their many nature programs.

This photo was taken at the funeral of the first police officer killed while on duty in my city, Windsor, Ontario, in over 125 years. It was also the largest funeral in at least fifty years, if not longer. The officer’s children’s classes came, and as high school students we were paired up with them to watch them for the day. This was my student… I think he was ten at the time…

Talk about a tough decision! Our judges slaved over entries day and night to bring you these excellent choices. These will not be the only winners – any works that are chosen to feature in the final publication will also be getting a $100 bubble voucher. Woo Hoo! / Read more about the In The Moment Competition here Overall Visual Art Winner / Prize: Leonardo Da Vinci’s A Treatise on Painting / or a Wacom Intuos3 12”x19” Tablet plus USD $500 RedBubble voucher Geneva Lake Divers by markhayward / There is so much going on in this picture: you have the collective spirit of youth perfectly represented by young boys in action on a hot summers day, some of the figures are lazily waiting on different parts of the tower happy to watch the others take their turn on the board, the figures in full flight are in a circular acrobatic composition and the whole picture is anchored by main figure in the foreground who wears an expression of satisfaction at the days events. Nearly every character in the picture is “in the moment”. It instantly brings back my own youth at the local swimming pool. Great composition and technically well executed. Category Winner: Photography / Prize: $200 RedBubble Voucher How Young to Understand Death by Richards / Of all the emotions experienced at a funeral, bewilderment, shock and anger are three of the most prevalent. It seems the boy in the foreground and the officer in / the middle show all three at once in this very poignant photograph of the first police funeral in Windsor, Ontario in 150 years. The viewer can feel the pain at a glance, / and then wonder what the mourners are looking at exactly. The coffin being lowered to the ground, a priest giving the eulogy, or something else peculiar to this particular service. / With a classic triangular composition this photograph carries a strong emotive, narrative and visual story. Category Winner: Traditional / Prize: $200 Redbubble Voucher Letters from Longbeach by JASHERLYNCH / The central figure is very mysterious in this very contemporary picture that puts the traditional idea of surfing as “fun” into a grimy, gritty visual context. The work is full of contrasts that makes me wonder about the state of mind of the person sending the postcard. Fortunately I can’t read the writing so i am left to make my own impression. I love the combination of mediums and the use of negative space. It is the sort of work that if I had it hanging on my bedroom wall would take me on a different emotional journey when I woke each morning. Category Winner: Digital Image / Prize: $200 RedBubble Voucher The endless walk by Geir Floede / Beautiful imagery of a person in the wilderness wearing a track in deep into the snow. She has come from offstage but looks set to walk endlessly in a circle til she / breaks free . . . or someone breaks into her world. She is definitely “in the moment”. Very understated, exceptionally powerful.
