Welcome to our Gold Star Award and Features for Cee’s Compose Yourself Photo Challenge (CCY).   These bloggers all deserve a second or third look for their entries to Compose Yourself Challenge #14 Symmetry.

The week’s Cee’s Compose Yourself Photo Challenge theme is  Compose Yourself Challenge: #15 Cropping (runs for two weeks).

Gold Star Award

This week’s Gold Star Award is granted Debbie Smyth from the Travel With Intent Blog.  Debbie, who is always traveling somewhere in the world, is a great photographer and blogger.  I have seen her grow as a photographer over the three years that I have been blogging and it has been great fun getting to know her.   Here is one of my favorite photos she took for this challenge.  It took me a few seconds to realize the image has a mirrored effect.  Hope you like it as much as I did.

Note: For your weekly assignments I usually would like to see at least 4-6 photos of photos, unless otherwise specified on the challenge post. Each week I will select several features from everyone who submits an entry.  And from those posts that I feature, I will grant one blogger the Gold Star Award.
