My winning photo from the WPJA contest: Creative Portraiture category!

Great news! I just got word that my image placed among the top ten in the last Wedding Photojournalist Association contest… I entered several categories of course but this is the first time I’ve been named to the prestigious winners’ circle… The WPJA is wildly popular among photographers and has thousands of members worldwide. They recently started giving every member a certain number of free entries per year, at which point I thought to myself “now the competition will be tougher than ever…” but what do you know?! I finally did it! Now if I can just win one of those PDN (Photo District News) Top Knots awards! Oh how I long to be listed in those pages… one never knows why certain images win out over others. Personally I might have rated my other entry in this category (Creative Portraiture) higher than the one that the judges picked, but of course I love this one too…
