Love is Patient

For those who voted "Love is Patient", . . . you win! It got a blue ribbon at this years Professional Photographers Association of Massachusetts annual competition. I learned a lot by attending this years seminar. Most importantly I realized just how much manipulation people do to prized pictures in Photoshop. I had always been more of a naturalist presenting the pictures "As-is" figuring that Photoshop is more of a crutch to fix what couldn't be done naturally "In-camera". But after really analyzing some of the pictures that were ranked highly I can appreciate some of the effects done post-production.

For those keeping track, Love is patient got 42% of the vote with The Eternal Promise coming in second at 28% and the other two at 14% each.
