I so agree with this. I have been back so many times to look at that waterfall image of yours.

Congratulations in being selected mate, and here's hoping you come through top dog!

Chris, Narayan, Terry, Geoff, Suzy, Petra, Trent & Julie, Jen, Molly, Adam, Shelley, Rolf, Carl, Leon, Ron, Barry and Martin,

Thanks so much for your kind words, people, and, wishing me all the best.

Looks like I won't be progressing any further with this one (I should have heard back by now, I think). Oh, well. It was great to get that far; I honestly didn't think I'd get looked at at all.

If there's one thing I'm good at in life, I'd like to think it's the thing that makes me happiest the most -- being behind the lens. Having got that far, I think I'm on the right track, and, will need to take a few more (overseas) trips to produce that winning shot.

Right gear, right place, right time, right light, and, maybe next year might be a different story. : )

Thanks, again to everyone who wished me good luck.

As an aside, I hope to start running some landscape workshops of small groups of photographers in the coming year, along the coast north of Sydney, and some other locations I have in mind. First one in each location will be a freebie to gain feedback and learn from the process (to offer better workshops), and, as such, I would be more than happy to extend an invitation to friends here should they be interested.
