I'm not sure if anyone else on this group has had good news too (if you have then GREAT!) but I have been incredibly honoured (and mighty surprised) by having had two of my images selected as top 10 finalists in specific categories in the World Wide S&T Beautiful Universe photo contest.
Now, apart for the judges verdicts, there is also a viewers choice winner to be selected for each category and it is decided by the number of votes an image gets... soooo far be it for me to try and co erse you or anything buuuut....pleeeeease get behind our Australian skies and vote! :-) (gratuitous tug at your patriotism there)
Now...I think the image of Centaurus A in "The Deep Sky: Galaxies" section (second image from the top) and Omega Centauri in the "Deep Sky: stars and star clusters" section (second image from the bottom), both look pretty good..?
