Judy writes about her image:
I took this photo at Heartland Ballet’s Spring production, “The Grant Sisters and the Griffin’s Riddle”. I used a Sony a6500 camera with an 18–200mm lens. The settings were f/6.3, 1/320 second, ISO 6400. I did minimal processing in Lightroom. Ballet is one of my favorite subjects to photograph, even though the lighting can be very tricky. I look for strong compositions in the dancers’ poses. Our assigned subject this month was “leading lines”, so I titled my photograph “Leading Ladies”.
I’ve been a member of the Wild Rivers Photography Club for about nine years, and really appreciate the support, camaraderie, and opportunities the club provides.
Congratulations, Judy, on such a beautiful image! Judy’s winning image will soon be in the Daily Courier.

Carol writes about her image:
This photo was taken on August 19th 2023 at a fun “whatever we can find” photoshoot get together at my sisters house in Medford.
She had several staged displays throughout her home, this egg display was on her kitchen counter. I think she did an amazing job staging this so perfectly.
