Eric, I kind of hoped my
A Moment Forever Caught in Time waterfall image would have got the nod. I've received a lot of positive feedback on that image, even by professional landscape photographers from all over the world. Even if they said just two or three words, it meant the world to me.
Jeanette, 10,000 pound would be a great downpayment, or part of one, anyway. : )
lol, Chris, funny you mention 419 scams, I was on 419eater.com last night for a fair bit reading the Skeleton Safari Trip thread linked to on the home page. So much comedy gold.
Troy, yep, The Cloud Piercer Rests, it's in the terrestrial section at the moment.
Mike, as you can imagine, a lot of people, from all skill levels entered. So, there's a lot, and, I mean a lot, of snapshots and HDR rubbish, which the panel of judges would have just clicked next on. But, I honestly don't know how they weed through all that. That's just the landscape section, too. There's the other categories that would have received equal amounts, if not more, submissions.
At the moment I've been short-listed/pre-selected for judging.
Thanks so much, guys. Even if I don't progress beyond pre-selection, as Allan mentioned, it's a step in the right direction.
