Courtyard of the Lions by Dustin Quiel-Athanasiadis

GROUP B - SCORE 84.5

JUDGES: Lorraine Thomas 81 | Robert Suarez 88

I took this photo over a decade ago during my visit to the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. This is one of the marvels of architecture in the world. I took this photo with my camera set to full auto, as I was just getting started in photography and had never received instruction on manual settings. I was only aware of the rule of thirds for composition at the time. I shot this on RAW with the understanding that some day, I would improve my skills to the point where I could edit the photo to make it even better.

Simply Salad by John McKnight

GROUP A - SCORE 93.5

JUDGES: Lorraine Thomas 94 | Robert Suarez 93

This was one of about 100 setups I did in my yard. I tried various combinations of fruit and vegetables. I also tried various positions and patters for the fruit. I used a table cloth laid on a card table for the background. I tried shooting in both bright sunlight and shade. I did minimal spot removal in Photoshop and color adjustments and cropping in Lightroom Classic.

Spiral Staircase by John McKnight

GROUP A - SCORE 96

JUDGES: Lorraine Thomas 95 | Robert Suarez 97

This is the view of the inside of a spiral staircase while looking up. This was taken at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. I shot about 15 different views of this same subject. I have entered some other frames in previous PC. Each one gives a unique perspective on the same subject. I thought this image portrayed the theme of patterns very well. I had to hold my camera out between the bars to get this view. I was shooting blind since I could not see the viewfinder with the camera positioned out between these bars at arms length. I used the "Black & White Punch" preset to process this picture in Lightroom Classic
