I'm sure everyone who lives in the Greater Boston area will agree with me when I say I'm so glad to see the month of Feb behind us. It has been by far the nastiest month I have ever experienced in terms of the cold and snow. On the photo competitions front however, this past Feb has been good to me. I was fortunate enough to win a few awards.

My image of a snowy owl titled "Snowy on the Prowl" won Best of Show in the "Animals in Action" photo contest organized by the Cape Cod Art Association/Photography Center of Cape Cod. Please checkout the online gallery of all the winning and accepted images.

Received my medal for the Judge's Choice award at the Ocean State International Photo Competition which is organized every year by the Photographic Society of Rhode Island. It was for my image of the Milky Way at the Highland Light in Truro, MA titled "Cape Cod Nocturne". There were 2244 images from 566 photographers from across 35 countries. Here's a list of all the winning images with links.

Also won a Merit Award for the same "Cape Cod Nocturne" image at the Greater Lynn International Exhibition. There were a total of 4400 images from 1103 photographers.
