Hi All,

I made my first submission to the PPG recently and go one of my images accepted. Got a great buzz from seeing my name listed under 'Artist'.

Nice image John
I believe it was taken using the 135-400 mm sigma.
All the Best

Handheld at 400mm ? Brilliant . Hoping to see more at PG like this.
Best regards

Well done, especially on your first attempt, the rest of us have had many rejections before getting anything accepted.

I just got my 30th PPG pic in!
There are, however, more than 100 that got declined (you can see them here).

This round I had one in and five declined...

As long as one doesn't take the PPG too serious it is quite fun.

Surely they have that wrong? I was alway lead to understand that the creator of a photographic image should be refered to as the "Author"
