Thanks everyone for all the kind comments and great votes!
I always felt very passionate about photography and for the past 13 years I would enter a challenge every couple of years or so, with more or less disappointing results... Even though these were the best photos that I could produce, they would mostly fail in the challenges :)
Thankfully, despite the frustration of not understanding why the photos were not performing well, I never lost my enthusiasm for learning and trying to get better.
It is a very rewarding feeling to get a Blue, because I always had so much respect for this community. I do not interact much on the forums, but it's always a great pleasure to open the Weekly Update email, and it's very inspiring to admire all the great creations that you guys post!
Once again, thank you all!
All this is very exciting, I'm looking forward to join more and more challenges!
WOW .. as in WOW for everything .. the drama .. the colours .. the impact .. the perfect composition .. the scene .. and what i really love is the craggy black lines in the road .. maybe from tar or something .. but to me that boosts this shot from pretty damn cool ... to AWESOME ..
seeing ribbon .. altho i havent seen all your competition yet .. ;)
