Well, that is because it is such a fabulous capture. So well deserved. Congratulations

Congratulations - very well done !

I shall look out for it at the exhibition, it will be great to see it in print in such a superb venue. 

In the words of Charlie Waite  *“Having seen the standard of this year’s entries first-hand, I cannot wait to see the exhibition."

A fantastic achievement Anthony

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

I just booked my flights down to London for the private viewing  of the exhibition on the 17th Nov.

Funny thing is its cheaper to fly from Scotland to London than it is to take the train from London Stanstead to the city centre!

Cheers
Anthony

If anyone is around town tomorrow I'll be visiting this exhibition and The World Press photo exhibition nearby.   I'd be glad of any company,  send me a message .

Anthony and I finally met up at The National Theatre in the evening, Anthony's flight from Scotland having been delayed over 6hrs !  We were soon on our way to the bar though and chatting away about photography and many other things before making our way upstairs to the presentation.   A superb exhibition it was too - fabulous huge prints adorned the walls, plasma screen too and were projected. The great and the good were there, with Charlie Waite doing the presentation, along with Valerie Singleton.    I had a great time and some complimentary wine too, so not many photographs were taken ![](http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/art/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Anthony is one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet, I want to thank him again for the invite and congratulate him on this great achievement.
