This stunning excursion into digital imagery was mastered by panos_r, and was the first Champion of our Brackets. The technique used was Smooth HDR plus Orton. Panos, however, has the eye for scenic shots, and all of his photos are a delight to view.

Panos lives between Greece and Italy, and shoots strictly with Nikon equipment. When he returns from his travels, we will backfill in an interview here.

About This Blog

This blog shows off the best photographs we have in our Flickr group, Photo Face-Off Challenges.

These photographs are the winners of our Championship challenge, The Brackets. The Brackets pits Platinum medal winning photographs against one another. Winners have to survive four rounds to become the Champ.

At PFO, our mission statement is a simple one:

Photo Face-Off Challenges encourages photographers to perfect their skills in a fun, entertaining, and exciting environment by competing against other photographers in themed match-ups. The emphasis in our group is on images made in the camera, barely relying on digital enhancement in post-production. At Photo Face-Off, most competitions consider excellence in photography, rather than in digital art.

We hope you enjoy our photos, and encourage you to leave comments. If you have a Flickr account, why not click through to leave comments on the photos and make a new contact?

Your PFO Administration and Moderation Team thanks you.
