TPPC: Week Four Winners!

Posted in Photography on February 20 2013, by Ann Rafalko

Canna 'Oiseau de Feu'The photographs in the Tropical Paradise Photography Contest keep getting more beautiful and the judging process keeps getting more difficult.

Thank you to everyone who tried their hand at shooting some Sense of Place photographs! This category was really tough to judge this week, as there were so many beautiful, imaginative shots. Keep up the great work! We love seeing the Conservatory in new ways.

Think you can do better? Then let’s see it! Entering is easy–simply upload your pictures to Flickr (please limit it to your very best photographs taken inside the Conservatory during Tropical Paradise), add them to our Group Pool, tag them with #tropicalparadise, and then sit back and hope we pick your pix! And don’t think that just because you’re snapping with an iPhone, you can’t take part–all skill and equipment levels are welcome to participate.

Alright, let’s get inspired by this week’s crop of tropical beauty!
