And the winner is….

The results are in from the work photo contest I entered a couple of months ago and as it turns out, I won 2 of 3 categories!  I didn’t expect much in terms of results since typically the winner is often a photo of a small child or a cute furry animal.  That generally seems to be what the majority of people at work vote for in these things, and I must admit, I’d vote for those too!  However, I decided to enter anyway despite not having any of these types of images and also because I really wanted to beat a coworker who was just talking smack!  The department is full of camera gurus and from them I often acquire several tips and tricks regarding processing and photography. I also often find myself anticipating hearing about what they did the past weekend and if they shot anything.

Anyhow, back to the contest.  There were three categories: Landscape, People/Animals and Funny/Artistic/Creative.  The categories were very broad and this was a fall/winter contest so it was difficult trying to find images that I think ‘the people’ would enjoy.  After filing through my images I was able to find 2 satisfactory (in my eyes) images to enter into each category.  After all the votes were tallied it turned out I won the Landscape and the People/animals categories.  The winning prize wasn’t much, $10 Black's gift card for each category.  It’s a tiny victory but it sure did feel good to see people enjoy the images and the compliments after the winners were announced. 

Here are the images that won:
