Ottimo, Catania si conferma un’importante base per la fotografia. Anche una mia foto ha ricevuto la mensione d’onore all’IPA.

I like this photo contest…but they have to check better the winners!
I found something very strange in a winner image of
WYOMING HORSES & COWBOYS
Entry Title: ” COWBOYS AND HORSES”
Name: Daisy Gilardini, Switzerland
some images are very similar or better EQUAL to another famous photographer:

I’ve checked the Photoawards Website here http://www.photoawards.com/en/Pages/Gallery/zoomwin.php?eid=8-6626-09&uid=15674&code=Lifestyle and you’re right, photographs are really VERY similar! http://www.daisygilardini.com/portfolio.html (in Around the world, Wyoming Horses and Cowboy)and http://www.gulinphoto.com/gallery/g_hideout_winter.html (siluoutte of the cowboy is REALLY incredibly similar). Maybe they were in the same place in the same moment, maybe the two photographers know each other…. ?
maybe!
