Libby Collins earns perfect score for “After the Storm”

Club member Libby Collins’ image After the Storm earned a perfect score of 27 from our three judges for December’s competition.  Libbys’ image was submitted into the Black & White Print Class Salon Open Subject category.

Libby says about the image:

“Most of the trees at Greenwich Point are craggy, sculptural and expressive, shaped over time by sea-winds from the Sound. I photograph them often, especially in snow or fog. Circling the Point after a recent snow, I drove by a group of trees which attracted me because of the contrasts. The damp bark was black/black. Fresh snow was white/white, pasted in random clumps on the Northeast side where the storm blew in from. The water behind them was gray – a horizontal line, contrasting with the trees’ verticality, adding a value statement halfway between black and white. Working the scene, I moved so that the two near tree trunks framed the far ones.The trees called to mind  a Japanese print or a silent dance and appealed to my love of simplicity.”

Congratulations Libby!  Your image was added to the Perfect Score Gallery
