Some results I was a bit disappointed with, for others I was pleasantly surprised. These competitions are a good gauge as to how &amp; if you are developing as a photographer. It also is a showcase for the very high standards of photographers throughout the IPPA in all manner of photography. This time I entered 11 images, and, I cant really complain as I was awarded 4 gold and 7 silver awards. Considering the fact that last year (my first in IPPA competition) I achieved 4 golds in total I should be delighted, but, in a perverse kind of way, the fact that I was a bit disappointed is a good sign. Good is not good enough anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I have uploaded the images below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_651\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-651\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kevinmorris.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IPPALand2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-651 \" title=\"IPPALand2\" src=\"http:\/\/kevinmorris.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IPPALand2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kevinmorris.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IPPALand2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/kevinmorris.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IPPALand2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kevinmorris.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IPPALand2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-651\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gold Award -
