Hi Mike
Welcome back! Andrew’s Tiger and your Lion are certainly majestic looking beasts.
I’ve really grown to like and enjoy the monthly comp; each month I get to think anew about my photography and perhaps visit new places, or try different things in old places. It is also just plain nice to see what other members of the IIS crew have been up to; viewing life through their eyes as they interpret the subject.
It really matters not who wins, because that buzz only comes right at the end, and is generally short lived (at least it was for me in my one and only “win”). Don’t get me wrong, it is nice to have your efforts recognised, but by far the greatest thrill for me is learning something new, seeing something differently, having a new adventure in trying to get a “winning” photo and enjoying the posts of all the entrants. That buzz endures a whole month long and tends not to fizzle out.
However, I do appreciate everyone’s votes, so if anything I do happens to take your fancy, I am always grateful for, and appreciate those votes, cast in my direction!
Cheers
Dennis
