I was thrilled to have this photograph awarded first place in an online photography contest (Better Photo.com) for April 2007.  The image entitled “Magical” was entered into the Digital Darkroom category. I had been working on it as a method of experimenting with some new Photoshop techniques. I was very happy my practice photo got selected for the gold medal!! The Better Photo competition attracts over 20,000 worldwide entries each month and is a showcase for some really great photographs.
