winning photos from fotomission's
4th south beach photomarathon contest.
myself and 104 others chose to spend the day shooting photos for the assigned topics of: 'green', 'wild', 'refreshing', 'hot', 'style' & 'only in south beach.' at the end of the day, only 4 photos per topic were allowed to be submitted straight from the memory card (no retouching allowed).

I decided to show both winning photos... possibly all six will go in the book.
see blog for more details.
