… So sorry about the pompous title, but I really needed to get your attention because I owe you a massive THANKS for something more than just the faves, wonderful comments, priceless support and love.

About a month ago I took part in a competition organized by the Greek edition of “Wildlife Photographer” and since the rules stated that you had to be in the top 20% of the votes in order to go to the second round where your photo would be judged by a committee of photographers and since I was way too late in entering the contest, I asked for your help to make it possible for me to pass to the second round of the contest. I was really afraid of that professional judgment but I guess I wanted it even more Your response was instant, surprising, moving and overwhelming for sure! Not only most of you tried to overcome the “it’s all Greek to me” obstacle but there were some of you that made a task of it and voted almost every day! I guess no amount of thanks is enough for this and this journal would definitely be written regardless of the result of the competition…

Well, the committee reached their verdict and as it happens Underneath the Veil got second prize!!! It was the first time I entered a competition outside DA and I am really honored as you can imagine. Just… with absolutely no intention of being bitchy, what came as a blow to my judgment was the fact that *KirlianCamera’s The loud music of the dawn wasn’t in the finalists. In my mind the most probable scenario had him on top of me ( ooops , oh, come on, you know what I mean)…

Anyways, the final results can be found here [link] , still greek to you, I know, the category we were in was “landscapes” (the right column), feel free to give me your opinion on them even if it’s the “what-second-place-with-this-monstrosity” type of message! You WILL be ed but, trust me, virtual slaps don’t hurt at all!

Also, the 8th place is =pestilence, if you want to go and give him a
Once again, major and massive thanks and s, you are the bestest… Really…
