While walking along the railroad tracks on his lunch break Garrett Palmer saw this photo opportunity and used his cell phone to capture this stunning photo. Garrett entered his photo in the Travel and Architecture category.
"Wow these are fantastic, I'm not sure I want to do this now." "How are we supposed to pick just one? Can we have a tie?" "These are just too good," were among the murmurings overheard during the judging session at Gallery 'N' Gifts for this year's Photo Contest. Over 50 photographers joined the fun for the winter edition of the contest with 175 entries in seven different categories. It took quite a while, but the judges finally submitted their choices and you are invited to view the entries and see the results through the month of February. Our Summer "Take Your Best Shot" contest will be held in August, with submissions due the last week of July. Check http://www.galleryngifts.com after March 1st for contest rules and categories.
