Results contest : Pastels

Using pastels often results in more elegancy and delicacy, especially if taken in soft diffused light.  The submissions were very varied going from flowers, to landscapes and even portraits.

The winners with the most votes in this contest are:
1st place: Anna Cseresnjes   

2nd place: Judy Tseng     
3rd place: brigitte van krimpen  

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions and thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Pastels'

This contest will end at midnight on Sunday the 29th of January 2023.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.
