The Gallatin County Fair was last weekend and I entered several photographs in the professional class of the photography competition. I was delighted when I visited with my family and saw lots of ribbons hanging from most of my entries!


Here’s a better look at the award-winners:
My big winner was this landscape of Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park. It took first in the Landscape Class, first across the Digital Color Division, and Best of Show across all professional entries!


This black-and-white taken on the streets of Butte, MT garnered a 1st place ribbon for the “Other — B&W” class and a pink ribbon for being Reserve Best of Division (B&W).


This orange daisy won 1st place for “close up — color digital” class.


And my Butte store window mannequin took home the blue ribbon for the “Other — Color Digital” Class.


My own blue-eyed little boy earned 2nd place for “Portrait –Color Digital”.


And my bowl full of cherries, took home the 2nd place red ribbon to match for the “Still Life — Color Digital” Class.


The clear blue sky above this Butte, MT architecture also earned 2nd place for its entry class, “Other — Color Digital”.


Another shot of the Tetons won 3rd place in the “Landscape — Color Digital” Class.


My best friends brought me a 3rd place ribbon in the “Portrait — Color Digital” Class.


This colorful veggie tray was worthy of a 3rd place ribbon for the “Still Life — Color Digital” Class.


Bright red tulips were 3rd in the “Close-up — Color Digital” Class.


This yummy breakfast was good enough for a 4th place ribbon in the “Still Life — Color Digital” Class.


And finally, this lonely tree in winter was a 4th place winner in the “Landscape — B&W” Class.


And, yes, you can have one of these prints decorating that perfect spot in your home! Prints in numerous sizes are available for purchase. Send me an e-mail (amy@amyshertzerphotography.com) or contact me through my website for pricing and details.
My 3-year-old son may have come home with an el cheapo plastic car (that I paid far too much for him to “win”), but I was equally delighted as him with my colorful prizes!



Congratulations. Great job!
3rd place??? Total crap.
Seriously beautiful work, Ms. Shertzer!!!!! Well done.
Wow Amy I love them all but there’s something about that tree that I totally love. I can’t believe it only got 4th place. I guess the judges didn’t see what I see it should have gotten 1st.
Way to go, Amy! All of your submissions are simply beautiful
well deserved ribbons!
Congratulations!!! Amazing work.
Wow Amy, congratulations! I’ve always admired that first shot of the lake. All your landscape photos are wonderful. Nicely done, you’re very talented!
