I received results from the Celebration Circuit salon in India a few days ago, and am pleased to announce that, along with a total of 15 acceptances in four judgings (having only entered eight photos in two categories), I received two "Chairman Choice" certificates and a PSA Gold Medal! The latter is a rare achievement and one I'm very proud of. Ironically, it was for a photo made waaaay back at the beginning of my figure photography career, at a class in studio lighting.

Here are the full results:

• "Classic," Invy Rose, Puyallup, Washington, October 2011: PSA Gold Medal and Chairman Choice Certificate, accepted by all four judges
• "The cliffs of Discovery," Lillias Right, Discovery Park, Seattle, June 2015: Chairman Choice Certificate, accepted by two of four judges. This is the debut appearance for this photo!
• "As above, so below," Lior Allay, Gas Works Park, Seattle, March 2019: Accepted by all four judges
• "Lower Sunbeam," Bunny Luna, Lower Sunbeam Falls, Mount Rainier National Park, July 2019: Accepted by two of four judges. This is the debut appearance for this photo, too!
• "Wilderness mirror," Bunny Luna, Tatoosh Range, Mount Rainier National Park, July 2019: Accepted by two of four judges. This is only the second appearance by this photo, having previously received a Bronze Award as part of a photo series at the Budapest International Foto Awards a year and a half ago.
