It's a fine image Gareth, and well deserving its success. Every year I think I should enter APOY and every year I miss the start.
Best regards, John

Well done, Gareth. How nice to have a "local" Pentax lad doing so well. Anyone who wins APOY fully deserves it. Most professionals specialise in one or two areas and so get very good but that competition demands an eclectic approach and genuine flexibility. You also have to plan and take the pictures whilst still doing the day job.

(I count you as local as I can, on a clear day, see your manor!)
Best wishes,

Andrew

Thanks all, I'm pretty stoked! Now to up the ante and win a round!

We should have a section for external comps like this where we can upload to to get feedback and share images before entering the comps so we can push Pentax and get users images up there also?!
