I recently entered a handful of photographic printts as entries in a local agricultural show (a bit like the county fair...) and was the recipient of two prizes, much to my surprise. Partly because there were a lot of entries (about 500) with many of them in from the local camera club, and partly because the entries that I thought would be in with a good chance didn't get a look in. Ah well - I'm not a judge.
In any case, I placed Third in the category People (Monochrome) with this shot, not previously seen before on DA :

...and I somehow managed to claim First Prize in the Landscape (Monochrome) category with this shot :

I had a few entries in, such as these three

But they didn't claim any prizes. Oddly enough, the first one of the three has been a prizewinner on two other occasions. Ah well. I'm not complaining. I just thought I'd indulge in a little shameless self promotion for once.
We now return you to your regular program.
