Congratulations Daryl,very well deserved. I saw your shots that won and they were excellent. I was talked into joining my local club a few weeks ago, and first club comp I got two firsts, and two thirds. We have a comp with another club on Monday, and I have got three photos into the 30 our club are entering against the other one. Very surprised, but I understand your excitement.
@markp Big congrats to you! Are the shots here on 365? It is very exciting. These "shows" make me super nervous as I go up against some real "big wigs" and I don't expect anything. I've done well with the monthly reviews/competitions and we can only submit one photo each time (there are usually about 30 submissions in the digital category!).
