And the winner for our July photo comp is.....

Well its the first time I have ever had Camera Dude come out to me to say "you do it - I cant decide".  So being the honest person that I am, I told him there was no way in the world that I would judge it as the pressure is way to much and I know who has entered what and the story behind each one.

I cant thank all of you enough for entering as its takes a lot of courage and guts to send photos in, but  I think they were all seriously so good that we will do this category again in the future for sure ( so thats a hint)

After an agonizing situation as he said, what makes a phone photo a winner.  So my answer was the one that grabs you as a "wow".

Anyway, he came down to 2 and because there was not much in it, we have decided to - for the first time - award a second place prize who can pick one of our new Key rings.

So - congratulations to our first place winner and the photo going into the end of the year draw which is

Kristy Beck

I think we can all agree this is a beautiful image and to be taken on a phone is quiet remarkable



and our second place winner is.........

Tanya Goodwin

The judge loved the colors in this image.  Now here I have to confess that Tanya is a friend of mine, who is not a photographer (dont think she even owns a camera - but LOVES her Iphone) and surprised me with a photo.  Camera Dude at no time had any knowledge that it was Tanya's photo ( and you will see by the image in the photo album that her name is not entered) and why I never tell him who has taken what.  Its also why I wont be a party to any judging ( and also why Tanya will not go into the major draw at the end of the year - cos now he knows thats not fair).

Just putting that out there as to how we run it here at Camera Chick as we think every image should have an equal chance..

So Tanya can pick a key ring of her choice - and I do like the colours in this image.

so 

Kristy & Tanya can email me at sales@camerachick.com.au with their postal address and colour choice and we will get them under way.

Until next time.....( which will be tomorrow)

Happy snapping

Natalie
