IMAGE OF THE YEAR AWARD at COPS

Last night was a memorable one. I won first place in the “Non-Fauna” category at the yearly Charter Oak Photographic Society (COPS) contest. The second place in that category was also awarded to an image of mine.
To be honest, I never expected these awards, because this year I chose to be not so competitive, be true to myself and submit only what I, not the judges, really like. Obviously that paid off.
Cheers, everyone! Thank you so much for the inspiration, encouragement, for keeping me keeping on and being there for me. This one is for all of you too.
Here are the goodies in question:

I’m pretty impressed with what I’ve seen here. Photography is a passion of mine, and I love poking around other people’s sites to check their pictures and read up on tecnhiques, etc. Keep up the good work.
