International Exhibitions

After attaining all the necessary awards and acceptances to get bronze, the next step would be to get to silver. It is unclear whether the transition period for the changes announced earlier would still exist and how long they would continue to exist. EDIT In January these changes were cancelled.
I decided to take things a bit easier and enter fewer salons just for the fun of it.

My first result was an acceptance from a salon called SOP in India. My sole acceptance there was "Holly".

On 22nd April results came back from Quillat. "Leaping Over the Light", "Seated Nude", and "Was our Last Supper OK?" were accepted. "Was Our last supper OK?" was in the creative section. I had shot a "Last Supper" shot with becca but it was too long to use on it's own so I used it as a background to a cut-down version with only 3 of the Beccas. For the sake of viewing this web site I have reduced the size of the images from those submitted to the exhibition to half.
