PDN Faces Photo Contest

Thank you for posting a new photo contest! I love taking pictures and although I am not a professional photographer I thought it would be fun to enter a few and see how my pictures do! The more I take the better I will get....so I hope!

The faces photo contest is an entertaining spin on a topic that is definitely a recurrent theme in today’s society. Some of the images of animal portraits were just adorable, my particular favorite being the photo of a small dog dressed in a chicken costume with a quote beneath it that reads: “Although I can not lay an egg I am a very good judge of omelettes.” The portraits of children are numerous but each photo is intriguing in its own way. The captions help to create a context for the image so that the viewer can appreciate the true beauty behind each of the faces!
