Icon Photo Competition organisers have given entrants who are members of the Photo Art Gallery a shot at an entirely separate prize pool to that of the rest of the competing public in Icon Photo.
Gallery members who enter the competition not only have a shot at taking out the major prize, but will also be taken into judging for a exclusive prize pool offered only to those members of the Photo Art Gallery.
Members have the chance to share in $500 worth of Prizes. Nik Software have put up these wonderful prizes for Photo Art Gallery members who enter the Icon Photo 09 competition.

Silver Efex Pro from Nik Software is the most powerful tool for creating professional quality black and white images from your photographs. For the first time, all the advanced power and control required for professional results have been brought together in one convenient tool.

Virtually, all digital cameras inherently create unwanted imperfections known as noise. The amount or type of noise in an image typically depends on the quality and type of imaging sensor with which it was created.
