"Cakes" wins Honour

I was thrilled to win an Honour for my photograph "Cakes" at my camera club, QCG, meeting last night. The subject was "Food for a Recipe Book". The judge said before he began that as he judged the photos he asked the questions - do I want to eat the food? and - does it look elegant? He said my photo fit those criteria well and he liked the "geometric" layout. He also commented on the small blue "hundred and thousand" which lay on the table near the plate. That was pleasing as I'd left it there deliberately. You can see other entries at the Gallery. I suppose one of the best things about it all was that after a visit from my peer support officer from the Spinal Injuries Association a few weeks ago, I was motivated to do some cooking. I baked the cakes myself with the only help having Terry get a couple of things for me that were out of reach. I then iced them and set up the photoshoot. So I'm feeling pretty good about it all!!
