Merry Christmas, everyone!

This morning I received results from the "Click U Winter Circuit" in India, a Photographic Society-affiliated contest. I entered three themes: open colour and monochrome, and "Portrait & Body" (PIDC). All three themes had photos accepted, but, unusually, this time it was the open colour category that was the most successful, largely due to the Click U judges really like my photo "Ohanapecosh 215." I don't blame them, of course--it's a favorite of mine as well!

Here's a summary of the results, from six judgings:

• "Ohanapecosh 215" (Open Colour PIDC), Katlyn Lacoste, Ohanapecosh, March 2022, accepted in five judgings, one of which awarded a Circuit Bronze Medal
• "Gothic Sundial" (Portrait & Body PIDC), Psychopomp, Seattle, October 2012, accepted in three judgings
• "Calico" (Portrait & Body PIDC), Marzipanned, Seattle, January 2019, accepted in three judgings
• "Nook" (Open Monochrome PIDM), Queen Dandelion, Rialto Beach, July 2018, accepted in two judgings
• "360 Degree View" (Open Colour PIDC), Spencer Parks, Cascades Mountains, July 2016, accepted (for the first time) in one judging
• "Light in the darkness" (Open Monochrome PIDM), Mikki Marvel, Seattle, July 2016, accepted in one judging
