Thursday Spotlight #11

By Editor Peter Davidson
Edited and published by Yvette Depaepe, the 26th of September



We are introducing a new feature specifically for those shots that have been overlooked by our many mysterious and secretive curators for an Award.

Each Thursday, one shot from the current gallery of Published (but not Awarded) images will be displayed here in the Magazine. We hope you enjoy the images chosen and the authors gain some much improved visibility of their work. And who knows, whisper it softly, maybe one of these shadowy curators might have a softening of their cold dark hearts and even Award the image...

This week's Spotlight doesn't sting like a bee but it does float beautifully.
Carlos Barriuso is certainly boxing clever here with twins of the butterfly type.
It's a pretty much knockout image that has somehow failed the curators count. The Glasswing butterfly is a rare sight (I certainly have never seen these transparent wings before, but I guess that's not saying much as I know nothing of these creatures) However, now I do! (Thanks to Carlos) Apparently they are an elusive creature of the dense forests of  the Americas and are, of course, delightful.

Carlos, your gallery is an embarrassment of riches in the best sense, chock-full of Awards. Can there be too much of a good thing? Great to see this image a spotlight, congrats.

Atul Saluja PRO
A absolute winner in my opinion. No question. Love your work Carlos!
Elizabeth Allen CREW
An absolutely stunning image but I notice that Carlos doesn't have a Pro account so I'm wondering if that's why the image hasn't been awarded.
Yvette Depaepe CREW
I don't understand, Elizabeth. Free accounts are no longer possible and you have to be a PRO to be able to upload images. But indeed, on his profile you don't see the 'PRO' mention above his name. If he is not a PRO, how can he upload and submit to the curators?
Elizabeth Allen CREW
That's exactly what I was wondering, Yvette. Maybe it's an old image, but we have no dates to clarify that.
Yvette Depaepe CREW
It is the last image Carlos submitted to curation and it was published just a little more than a week ago!
Elizabeth Allen CREW
Perhaps he is in the process of renewing his membership.
