My entries for The Irish Times Amateur Photographer of the Year 2013

These are my entries for the The Irish Times Amateur Photographer of the Year 2013. I'm not expecting to make the shortlist but if you're not in you can't win as they say.
Entries are for categories- Colour, Colour, Open category and Street.

They're among some of my favorite photos from this year and I believe that they stand out a bit from your 'standard' photograph.

The shortlist is announced on 16th of November and the winners on the 30th of November. Fingers crossed.
These are the winners from 2012, the first year the competition ran

Very imaginative!

Good luck Patrick, they do stand out, very creative shots

Yeah, like them, good luck!
