Putting myself Out There

I picked up my pictures from Snelson's Photolab. I am so excited. I am a little ahead of myself. Last month when I was decorating for the Christmas Dance dinner for my cute nephew Matt, my sister gave me a magazine that she had been getting out of the blue. (we still don't know why) It is called Island magazine. She thought I would enjoy it more. I took it home and after a week I thumbed through it. I stopped on a page that had a terrific picture on it, and below it said Photo Contest. I thought about it for a couple of weeks and decided to do it. The deadline is at the end of the month. So this week I have gone through my pictures that I have taken on some islands, I did what little I know how to do in PSElements and then got them printed. I still would like the color boosted more in them - but I still don't know how to do that real well so. I got them back and they look great! I am very excited. Tomorrow I am heading to the post office and sending them in to the contest. I don't know if I will win anything. But I wanted to do something that is out of the box and putting myself out there. This is something I would probably think about doing and just not do it. I am happy with what I have to submit. I will post the pictures later after the deadline. But I wanted to share my joy - I am putting my photos out there to be judged. To bad I can't do my most favorite - it wasn't on an island - it was in a church parking lot. Maybe for another contest.
