Creative Challenge Winners- Feeling Spooky

Hello, again, and Happy Halloween! Sorry this is a bit late...

Below are the top 8 winners in the spooky challenge, along with my 3 entries. The spooky house contest in Denville ended earlier this week and I will post a link to that album very shortly. There was a tie for 3rd place, and I still need to get to the last house, as well as get a video of the super cool first place house.

My latest HUB photos

At the first competition of my camera club's new year, I entered 5 photos- 2 color and 3 black and white/monochrome.

2 of my black and white/monochrome pictures were in the top 3 scores. This photo of a screech owl in sepia received an 8/9:

And this photo of a broad tailed hawk received for me my first perfect score- a 9/9!

Both are entered into the next NJFCC (New Jersey Federation of Camera Clubs) print competition, to be held at the end of the month. I won't find out how I did until the end of November, but if I get anything from them I'll let you know!

Hope you like these. I'll post next week with the winners of the Webshots Mirror/Reflections challenge. Have a great weekend!

In two weeks I'll post the winners of the upcoming "mirror" challenge, which includes reflections.

Next week I'll put up two more pictures from the Raptor Trust. I entered them last week at my camera club and had two of the top 3 scores in the b/w, monochrome category, including my first perfect score! Until then, take care, be well, and have a good week.
