Blowing my own Trumpet

[Didache]

Hi all

Forgive me for blowing my own trumpet, but on Monday I won my club's annual "Master Photographer Competition"!

Unlike the usual league print competitions, this one involves submitting pictures from 6 of 7 set subjects (ie one opt-out). They are then scored out of 10 and the highest total score wins the trophy. It is an annual highlight of my club's year and the list of past winners is a real roll call of distinguished names in the club's history. So, I was mightily pleased to win it!

The panel I submitted can be seen at: http://album2591.fotopic.net/c1403582.html

together with the topics and my scores. For the record, my opt-out was Landscape.

Cheers
Mike

Congratulations Mike!!! It is an excellent collection of shots. I really like "Caught In The Act". Very creative :thumbsup: How'd you come up with the idea for that one? Anyway, feel free to blow your trumpet, you deserve it

Thanks everyone I only had the trophy briefly on Monday - I will get it back in a week or two once the engraving has been done, to keep for a year.

Xia_Ke - I quite like doing humourous tabletop stuff in the winter when not a lot else is possible. I am just of the Monty Python generation
