20 Day Challenge 14 Winner – Energy by Drew Geraci

August 11th, 2010 No comments

Drew Geraci has won 1st place in the 20 Day Challenge Contest #14. The topic was “Energy” and he won with his “Shake it off!” photo. Visit the groups Facebook site for the other winners and to view all the entries and comments by Preston Keres. – Photo by Drew Geraci

Judge Preston Keres’ Comments: OK, I’m not a huge fan of the toning in this shot, but it think it communicates energy the best in the challenge.

As a bulldog owner, I connect with it. But more importantly, it’s packed with energy. Not only through the effort of the pup, but the fact it’s an energy-filled bulldog instead of a little toy poodle sends this shot to the top of the pile.

Great job!

Congrats …
