Creative Focus Awards

Every year the Pukekohe Franklin Camera Club runs a competition called "Creative Focus" where images of a creative genre can be entered. It is no surprise that this is rated as one of my favorite competitions as it allows me to express myself as a digital photo-artist without limitations (so long as all components of an image are derived from a photograph taken by me).

Below are the results for 2024.
