Emily’s cotton field modeling session was THE BEST! I literally took one image of her in the cotton field with the sun setting behind her and knew I had captured something worth submitting to image competition. Of course, we took more… but I just couldn’t believe how beautiful this could be with my lens closed all the way down to F22. It was captivating!

Emily is a Floresville senior who answered a summer model call for me. I took one look at this dress… this gorgeous dress! and knew I must shoot Emily… with my camera. Her dress reminded me of someone’s China pattern… someone’s expensive China pattern. Emily helped me capture some images for competition and I think she did a fantastic job!

For the record, I only scored a 75 with her image (at least an 80 is the goal). I can’t seem to break the curse of the “average professional.” However, I do have an appointment later this week with my competition and printer master guru, Rocco Ancora. Hopefully, he will counsel me to help choose an image or two worthy of a merit that is “above average skill and technique in most areas.” I have some more from this same session that I think may work; we’ll see what he says.
