There are 4 catagories each with 3 prizes. I won a first prize and a third prize and my wife, Anna, (who was one of the 4 finalists for National Geographic in December) also won a first and third prize... we brought home 4 of the 12 prizes... Good job to the Mairs of Oman!!! Between the two of us we also have 11 images in the final exhibition of about 50 images (Honorable mentions) We were joking about it this evening. We never thought we'd come close.... 8000 entries I'll try to get the winning images posted somewhere soon h Herschel MairHead of the Department of Photography,Higher College of TechnologyMuscatSultanate of OmanAdobe Certified instructor + (986) 99899 673 <http://www.herschelmair.com/> www.herschelmair.com ----- Original Message ----From: Emily L.

Good composition, good light. >> Don Roberts - Hammock Vendor Did you try one? How much were they? I really like the photograph, too. Not much one can do about the contrast except push a little fill flash in there and fix it more in RAW. Don't want to eliminate the side light, just tame it a bit. >> Howard Leigh - Spring Sun A classic. Just a little curious about the yellow-ness of the sun. In my experience by the time it's that high it's not yellow any more. >> Morley Roberts - Wing Walker - Carol Pilon (shrugged shoulders) Unfortunate exhaust. Not good for the earth. Waste of precious natural resource which is finite. Sorry, Morley. That's what I think a lot of the time when I see airplanes out playing. Sorta like snowmobiles. We need to stop doing that. > Jim Snarski - Raptor That bird only has one foot!!!!!. Boy, Jim. You are so lucky. First you have the bird, then you're home when it comes visiting, then you happen to have the equipment, and to top things off you have the gear set up in the right place and the bird sticks around long enough to get sharp. Pretty nice pic, there. >> Emily L. Ferguson - Invitation Front Thanks, Per. Just let me know if you're coming and I'll arrange a place for you to stay. >> Marilyn Dalrymple - Just a Snapshot Here's where I just dissolve into a puddle of the cutes. Did you fix the green-eye? Just love the tail at the bottom. Those damn pop-up flashes are just too convenient sometimes. -- Emily L.
