Perfect Portrait Winners

Greetings everyone. I am currently on the freeway leaving Louisiana and on my way to Alabama right now on day 3 of my trip taking pictures for a book about the Civil War that happened here in America in the 1800s. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I am traveling just in case I am a little slow to get a post up, but don't worry, I will be doing everything I can to make sure that the contests are still running.

Everyone did great with their entries this week. You all have truly captured the essence of the people that you were photographing.

• Reminder If you got 1st or 2nd place in the previous contest the highest place you can get in this contest is 3rd place or Honorable Mentions. I am doing this so that many people have the opportunity to be rewarded with the top prizes.
