Very happy to have had 6 acceptances in to this years Midland International Salon, including a PSA Ribbon for my “Clownfish in a Red Sea Anemone” image.







I was particularly interested in this Salon as it had a specialist section with the theme of Minimalist, so I particularly wanted to enter some of my “Things In The Sea” long exposure images and I was very pleased to have had all four accepted, including a first acceptance for my image of “TonyG In The Sea” – A long exposure photograph of one of Anthony Gormleys self portrait statues at “Another Place” on Crosby Beach near Liverpool . I also had three others accepted in to the colour and monochrome sections as well, totaling 7 for the salon so a very pleasing result over all.
