PhotographyCorner.com Announces the January 2008 Photograph of the Month

PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 04, 2008 – Photography Corner ( http://www.PhotographyCorner.com ) has announced that Younes Bounhar is the winner of the January 2008 Photograph of the Month contest.  The winning photo was chosen by site members from a total of eleven nominated photographs with almost 22% of the votes.

Younes won the latest photograph of the month contest with a photo titled “Cavell Alpenglow.”  The winning photo depicted a shot from the Athabasca river just outside of Jasper, Alberta, Canada.  This was the second Photograph of the Month award received by Younes Bounhar.  For winning the PhotographyCorner.com January 2008 Photograph of the Month, Younes was awarded a PhotographyCorner Prize Pack, and a copy of VueScan Professional courtesy of Hamrick Software.  In addition, the top three vote-getters in the contest also were awarded copies of VueScan Professional.

“Younes is a fantastic photographer from Canada’s capital city, Ottawa,” commented PhotographyCorner’s owner, Tim L. Walker, “who specializes in nature and landscape photography using a wide-angle 10-20mm lens.  Shooting with a wide-angle lens like a 10-20mm is difficult for most to master, but Younes has done just that.  Every one of his nature landscapes he shoots with the 10-20mm is gallery-worthy.”

Photograph of the Month contests at www.PhotographyCorner.com are held in the community’s forum, where site members are able to post their photos for consideration.  Each month, photographs are nominated by community leaders and are voted on by the Photography Corner community. PhotographyCorner.com began holding Photograph of the Month contests in April 2004.
