Beautiful art

Beautiful art:   Last week I had the pleasure of judging the Tracy Camera club's monthly print competition.  While judging the beginner category I was thrilled to come across one image that truly stood out.  A new member to the Tracy camera club in the beginner category entered an image called, "The King".  The image was taken at the San Diego zoo by photographer Pat Ching.  Pat explained that she saw the lion enter the den and just knew that it wouldn't be long before it reemerged.  Pat got set up, and waited a few moments for the lion to reemerge.  Her ability to foresee an opportunity,  being patient and prepared , having a cooperative lion , and a bit of good luck, the planets aligned giving her an award-winning image.   While judging, I awarded Pat's image the overall image of the month for the Tracy camera club then encouraged her to enter it into the Delicato Wineries annual photo contest.  Pat entered the Delicato Contest and came away with Best of Show.  Congratulations Pat on a great image. I'm sure it will win many more awards.
