I entered my first ever proper photographic competition on Saturday. It was at a large Essex Country Show, the Orsett Show. Much to my amazement I won first prize in the category "Reflections" and second in "Night shot". I suppose there were about forty entries in each category. Am I now a professional as the first prize was £3 and a blue rosette and second prize was £2 and a red rosette (preferable)!

I agree with David and hope I have not caused offence I was merely poking fun at us seemingly being taxed on even the slightest of gains

You have one more first and second than I am ever likely to have
