Cincinnati, OH | On December 1st I opened our first of many (Not so) Professional Photo Contests.  You can read about the reason and criteria here.  We had 19 entries from a couple states and even one from Great Britain! Today is the day we get to see some shots and see who won!

1st Prize – A free portrait session

Wendy Clark – “God Smites a Glacier”

This is such an incredible photo!  No photoshop, no high end equipment…just nature and good timing (and a big travel budget).  Brilliant shot Wendy!

Mentions – A copy of Capture Cincinnati ’09

Dale Craven – “Overachiever”

I love this photo because you totally connect with the idea of it.  There’s always one in every crowd that is trying so hard to stick out:)  Again, nothing special about the equipment or editing, just a good eye and having his camera on him.

Tiffany Judd – “Bubbles”

This is one of those pictures that you can feel.  The joy and innocence of a child is so contagious.  We’ve all been there and we all would love to unplug for a few minutes during our normal workday and just go blow bubbles.  Grab a camera, give your kid something to play with and wait for some cuteness to ensue…a recipe for a good photo every time.

I wish I time to walk through and tell you what I love about each of these photos but here are some of my other favorites sent in to the contest:
