APG Juried Photography Show

“Unusual Beauty” 


To the right are the 41 top scoring images.

The photographs were displayed in the Gallery’s second juried show, “Unusual Beauty”. Photographs were evaluated independently by three professional photographers, and scored based on three criteria: Impact, Creativity, and Technique. It was a difficult process to choose the best from the 237 images submitted. What we ended up with is a collection of highly imaginative images depicting beauty in many forms, from the obvious to the more subtle and unusual. The one common theme that surfaces in this show is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or in this case, the photographer.
