County Fair entries

"My Sister, My Friend" This is my first time entering anything in portraiture.
It's not perfect, but I think it's close enough.


This is a different moose photo than I entered last year. You can go two years back, so although this was taken on that same day, it still qualifies. I call it "Rendevous in the Meadow"





This is a new category this year, "Reflections" The title is "Reflecting on Baptism" This photo is meaningful to me, however I know there will be some great work entered in this category, and there are things that are wrong with this, like the blown spot on her dress. My husband thinks that the ripples in the water make it a poor reflection photo. What are your thoughts on this? I doubt I will enter it in the State Fair. There are many less entries in the County Fair.

  1. Oh my! (Not to disagree with the hubs), but I think it's an AWESOME reflection photo! I'm kind of into that out of focus look right now, just like her reflection in the water. And I didn't even notice the blown out part of her dress until you mentioned it. I think it's just beautiful! :-)

    Not only is it a shot of a literal "reflection," I also see her expression as if she's reflecting on something; like thinking about something. The expression on her face is so thoughtful.

    Great shots - all of them! The first one is the cutest thing ever!! ♥

  5. love them all! I really like the reflection photo. It doesn't bother me that she's not in focus on the reflecting part. :)

  7. Karren, you should take the reflection photo and practice on it with LR! You can reduce the blown out part and lighten her face a bit all with the adjustment brush. The photo's comp is great! Good luck with the entries! Also you can post the reflection photo on CM's Picture Play!
