People’s Choice In a new spirit of growth, entries in People Choice ask the simple question, “Which of these nature and landscape images do you really like?” People’s Choice gallery presents you our images before submission for competition. Your active help will definitely aid our choices – when you simply click on an image, then your public acclaim helps our competitive choices. Each of our images has been subject to rigorous capture and digital darkroom workflow we take you on our Tours and teach Workflow Workshops. Composition, color management, strong contrast, skillful masks, blending modes, etc. ~ all add many superb workflow skills. Such skills aid creation of images which truly appeal to a judge’s shrewd eye! Our website is a source of national and international review ~ we receive daily reports indicating which images you consider popular! http://bistiart.smugmug.com/Peoples-Choice/Peoples-Choice/LavenderDawnIIIDSCN600110x/273388638_jt8sW-Ti.jpg http://bistiart.smugmug.com/gallery/2310667_s4jvP/ 2009-06-01T02:40:02Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
