Peggy's Cove

Hello, everyone! Since I wrote last week with the winners of the previous Canada challenge, I thought I'd include a few other pictures.

When I took my cruise to Halifax & St. John 3 years ago, I had originally signed up for a whale watch in Halifax, but it got canceled the night before because of concerns over the weather. Disappointed, I went instead to Peggy's Cove. I'm so glad I did!

I took a shot of the entrance to Peggy's Cove that looked super. It has won a 2nd place ribbon in the black and white category and an HM at the State competition in sepia. Here's the original again:

From that visit I also got 2 boats that I like. Here it is:

Hope there are some you like!

Next Tuesday I'll have the winners of the contrasting colors creative challenge. Until then, have a great week! Take care.

Creative Challenge Winners- Vanishing Point

Hello, my friends! How are you? Hope you're well.

Below are the top 10 winners in the challenge, along with my entries. Hope you see some you like.

Webshots said, when announcing the contest, "Webster’s defines vanishing point as: 1) a point at which receding parallel lines seem to meet when represented in linear perspective 2) a point at which something disappears or ceases to exist. This visual tool helps artists achieve perspective in works of art. This should be a fun exercise in horizon points and perspective for all of us!"

In two weeks they'll post the winners of the contrasting colors challenge. They have done this previously, though, so it may yet change before it starts tomorrow. Either way, whatever the challenge is, I'll have the winners for you sometime in early September. Next week, I'll post one of my previous winning pictures. Until then, take care & be well. Have a great day!

In two weeks we'll have the winners of the "vanishing point" challenge. I have high hopes for one of my shots, but with almost 1000 entries possible, it'll be tough.

Until then, take care & be well. Talk to you soon!
