Day before closing and quite surprised with the score.
Im a little bit embarresed as I made some changes to the image as this is basically as I took it but once I made the changes as per some suggestions from team mates it looked way better - as per attached image. I clean forgot to submit it- at least submit the changed image

Regardless Im happy with the score as it stands at 6.8 and will most likely drop to 6.7 with roll over. Maybe hopefully a top 5.

Hey Rian - this is great.

You know, there are those who might say the Long Shots winning WPL was a fluke. To see the great photography by members of the Long Shots since then seems to indicate they not only deserved it but that the competition raised their level of performance.

Need proof - here it is.

Congratulations.

Let me quote you a snip from a PM I got from Rian:
"I have just dabbled a bit with the odd challenge..."
Dabbled? No Rian - It's more like taking first place and showing the rest of us how to take a super shots. Well done Meneer!
Nice to See Amanda right behind you in the top 3 as well! Go South Africa!!

I really like the concept. Only real complaint is I would have preferred the signs to no be so bright. Won't mark down for it as they are designed to reflect all that light back to you so you were fighting a losing battle.

Oh! I love this!
