So congrats to jdunphy for winning. It was very close and you both did a great job all the way through.
Anyhow, I'd just like you all to know I consider it an honour to have got so far in competition with such amazing photographers, I felt well and truly out of my depth! Congrats to everyone who took part as well, there was some really good work in this comp.
Thanks to darin and the judges for organizing this, as well. I had a lot of fun, and more importantly it made me reevaluate the way I set up and take a shot. I was getting poor scores in the technical scores early on. It really made me take a second look at my process. I feel like this little contest helped make me a better photographer. :thumbup::thumbup:
