A few of my best for 2 Contests

Sherry Felix

I spent a week selecting some of my best 10 images from the last few years. I submitted 3 for the final review at B&H Event Space’s Portfolio review geared towards a possible show at SohoPhoto http://www.sohophoto.com/ and all 10 for the New York City Camera Club http://lloydspitalnikphotos.com/contest4/.

I also sent them, plus thousands of others, for $55 to the Copyright Department https://eco.copyright.gov/. Something all artists should do.

This is my first venture into this side of photography. I was a professional fine artist for over 15 years and know the dog-eat-dog gallery world well. I don’t expect much to come of this but it has been a marvelous learning experience.

    I am not fan of B&W photography. For the B&H Portfolio final I chose 3 that I feel represents me as a nature photographer. The NYC Audubon cometition is for nature photography. The only B&W work I’ve done was of snowy street scenes. I would rather shoot nature than architecture so did not use those. I may choose a type of photography someday. I’ll need to feel insired to have it hold my attention.

    Interesting pictures. I like what you did with them, especially the White-throated Sparrow. The background is mysterious and subtle. The Hermit Thrush, by contrast, is cheerful and bright. some of these should be winners.

    Well done, Sherry!! Good luck with the contests. My Dad always used to say “You can’t win, if you don’t try!”

      Thank you. One hopes that after a few years of work a few come out well. 🙂
