With the variety and quality of the macro images submitted for the last contest, we thought we would extend the small theme for another month. The Theme for the May meeting photo contest will be all things small. This includes macro, butterflies (including those from the last field trip), flowers and anything your creative juices can come up with. Enjoy. For those who would rather not do this assignment, you may submit in the Open Category. Send your photos to Brad Davidson at contest@evergreencameraclub.com by 8 am, Mon. May 9, 2011. One Photo per Email. Photos no larger than 5 mb.
