Last night, I was surprised and delighted to find out that I had won third prize in the Advanced/Color/Open Topic division of the Photo Venture Camera Club contest for January!  Though I am not sure exactly how many entries were in my category, there were over 100 total entries in this contest, all of which were absolutely beautiful images.   The image below was my winning submission.  I took this photograph at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, IL on a recent vacation with my husband.  There must have been anxiety in the air that day, because it was the same day I photographed a kangaroo fight!  Although I’ll never know what these flamingos were upset about, I loved watching them bicker.  As an animal lover myself, I am happy to report that no flamingos were harmed in the making of this photo!
