Sorry for the delay in posting the final submissions for our Apr/May tutorials!! I have a friend and her family visiting and we took a whirlwind trip which included Niagara Falls, Canada’s Wonderland and downtown Toronto.

Kristi Kennedy, of BC, has sent me another photo for our May tutorial assignment on Balancing Elements:

Taken with Canon EOS 10D at f/5.6, 1/30 sec., ISO 400

This photo of her children colouring depicts her daughter as the focal point, with her son in the background as an anchoring, or balancing, element. Love the concentration in her sweet face!

Thanks for your submission, Kristi – and I’m encouraging everyone else to get their submissions into me before the deadline of June 30th! Because wouldn’t your Canada Day be a little bit brighter if you were randomly chosen as one of the winners of our fabulous prizes??

Cheers,
