Hi All,
I just thought I would share a bit of good news with you all. I was awarded a silver medal in the guernsey 2012 salon, for Free spirits,
and better still, a best in class award, which in their case is a replica gold colourd milk churn, for my picture of Melissa, but in this case titled "The Look"

Many, many congratulations Peter,
Winning the Best in Class with the photo of Melissa is well justified and, if I'm being honest, IMHO it should have won the September 2012 monthly comp here at ADAPS - just goes to show that judging is very personal and very subjective.
Good news,
Barry

Well done Peter.
I like the 'X Factor' treatment on the background of the Melissa photo. It really lifts it and gives it that 'something extra'. Nice job.

Thank you all for your comments, really appreciated, I don’t think I have come down to earth yet. I'm not sure if I want to just yet, It's nice.
Thanks again
Peter

Congratulations Peter - you must be really thrilled. I think we should display all members awards in the clubroom in some way - frighten the opposition!

Thanks Janice, only just seen this. sorry.
I think it's a good idea, BUT, I prefer them to be on my mantlepeice, to be honest
That is, when I finally get them.
Thanks, and regards

Oh yes Peter, what I should have said is that we should have something like a Roll of Honour to display and highlight members achievements. Perhaps a book - or even photographs

I agree with Janice - we should have our success stories up in the club.
