I expected my meadow pipit to do well but I did not expect this one to do quite as well, but I was surprised to see it was this one that did the best form my entries, it was a fantastic day, and it is nice to see other shots and what the judges liked. It was also good to see some of the folks from the North East that I know but have not seen in a while.
on the other end of the scale I was asked to stand in to judge a local fundraising event's photographic competition, which I have to admit I was very nervous, there should have been three groups under 11's 11-16's and over 16's but there were no entries in the 11-16's
to my surprise the winner of the under 16's was a little girl who had just turned 3 years old, the top three from each section all got a certificate and first place and the over all all got a prize, it was great fun and I really enjoyed it, It was the first I have ever done anything like this, but it all went well I am pleased to say
