This is great! Good luck to everyone
The prize photographs are Really Beautiful and I’m looking forward to see all the comments pouring in and after that – to hear from the winners!
Ruth Read has some beautiful works. The swan photos looks really nice. Its a shame there only photo’s tho. Some of her works look well done and have a nice amount of detail.
Your site is really beautiful. Great work. Congrats on one-month anniversary.

Willard,
Thank you for your comments about the photos’ in the contest.
The printing quality is very high quality and printed by a professional printer on metallic paper. This paper is special in that it gives a depth that most other papers do not convey. I normally sell these prints at art shows and competitions. I get a very good response to them.
The size shown for this competition is worth 150.00 framed in a plain black frame with a cream or white matte. Less of course without the frame.
Also one of them was a winner in a contest. I did not enter the rest of them, only one. To me, they are all winners and I had the best time photographing this swan.
You can see the swan story at: http://www.squidoo.com/theSwan
I am very honored that my photos of the swan were chosen and offered for this prize. I am very proud of them and their quality.
It is such a wonderful site. I really liked the swan photos.
You really deserve for the prize and we all are proud of you. Great work.
Congratulation on one-month anniversary.
