Some of you regular visitors to my blog will know I am a member of a photographers network called the IPPN, monthly image competitions are held that help push us to constantly improve our skill, entries are judged by a panel and feedback and critique is given with the intention of helping us develop further. I entered these 2 images below from a session which you can see here, both were awarded silver which I am very pleased with!

Judges comments
“A nice composition – parents will love this
Special friend/sister moment. The colors are beautiful.
Lovely shot, well captured
Lovely shot with everything working
Very nice colors and I love how the little girl is looking up at the bigger girl.
One of the pictures that really works because you can imagine more than you can see. Their stance is perfect. Lovely”

Judges feedback
Loving this one
Nice conversion
This image is adorable. I love the processing, the emotion, and it makes me want to know what they’re laughing at. Great job
Sort of confirms what I was thinking with the previous one that was shot from behind. Sisters? They look like children should look – innocent, bright and having fun!
