    Hello Claudio, as a Finalist, why would you give the awards 1 star? Thank you for your feedback

  • I was very excited as an amateur photographer to be a semi-finalist with my photo of a windmill in the Netherlands. Thanks to this unexpected honor from the Taste Award judges This has given me the desire
    to pursue more photography contests. Michael Volpe
