2nd Place | Photo of the Month | 44th Month

Rainy Day at the River, by Ronnie Glover
Photography took a backseat while Ronnie obtained his college degree. After graduation, he purchased his first camera but was unable to produce the images that he saw in his mind. He then took a few continuing education classes to learn the technical aspects of the camera and realized there was so much more to learn about photography. So Ronnie enrolled in the professional program at Southeastern Center for the Arts in Atlanta. The school was operated by Jeanne & Neil Chaput de Saintonge, who currently operate Rocky Mountain School of Photography. He spent 14 years living in Alaska and this gave him unbelievable opportunities to experience nature and capture many images. Ronnie also enjoys sports and travel photography and the experience of different cultures. Glover’s photograph Rainy Day at the River, in the category of Nature Photography scored 68.5 (Value 13, Clarity 13, Composition 17.5, Style 13, Skill 13) from our international jury of 5, and gains a good position in the competition. The number of Tweets and Facebook shares, StumbleUpon Organic Views boosted the popularity of the photograph a notch, raising its score to 6.465 from social media (Facebook Share 4.36, Tweets 2.1, StumbleUpon Organic View 0.005, and Comments 0), and in total 74.965, the second highest score in this competition for the 44th Month. This photograph is the winner of Photograph of the Month – 44th Month, 2nd Place.
