Student Flora May Hamill was thrilled to find out she had placed second in Perthshire's Rotary Young Photographer compeition after she submitted photos taken for her Art class.
The Lower Sixth Form student says that coming runner-up in the presitigous contest has given her more confidence with photography, an art form she only recently started to explore.
"I didn't expect to come in the top ten never mind second," Flora May said.
"Photography runs in our family but I'd never really given it a go until I took these photographs for Art and I'm glad I did, I will definitely continue learning more about photography in art."
Frank Glancy, Head of Art, says Flora May should be proud of her achievement, coming second out of a total 73 entries is no mean feat.
"Including Flora May, our department has been very successful n local and national competitions this year," he continued.
"We won best Art department and had students finish 1st in both senior and junior categories at the Perthshire Young Artist Exhibition earlier in the school year and now, thanks to Flora's eye, we've have scooped runner up in a photography prize."
