All of a sudden I found one of my Yosemity shots taking the 3d place in "Reflections" mini-challenge at stf.
Considering I never got any photo "award" this is a huge step for me!
I would not do it withought SM shootout and all you guys - thanks alot!:thumb
Cheers!:1drink

    Yeah but most of the credit still goes to you because I've seen you work and you are definitely deserving of this and more.
    Great jobclap.gif

    Congrats,

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Your own fog shot was something to die for.. let alone all you fine shooters'...
    I guess I got lucky:-)
    We'll see how I do in #52 "Hills and Mountains":-) Most likely - the usual "thank you for playing" award :D

    Nikolai, you're too humble
    I've drooled over many of your Yosemite shots as well as others of yours. Just because someone hadn't picked your shots before doesn't mean they aren't first rate shots. I'd love to be able to get some of those captures (trying not to be greedy, but I'd take them all if given a chance).
    Congrats on your placing, now go kick some butt in the new challenge of "Hills and Mountains" with your Yosemite shotsclap.gif.

    I simply "was in the right place at the right time having the right equipment and the right attitude". Your "Resignation" shot - that was something bowdown.gif

    I submitted one Yosemite shot to the contest (not from SM trip, though), but ultimately decided no to "overmilk the cow":-), so my other two entries are from different times/places.

    Thank you for your support!

    Cheers!1drink.gif
