Default Patience, Luck, and Determination - It Pays Off Eventually!

Just a wee note to let you know my good news. A while ago i entered one of my images ("The Chase - A Swallow's Tale") into a nature/wildlife competition run by Scottish Natural Heritage.

I got home tonight to find an email informing me that i have won first prize, and will be treated to an all expenses paid day out with pro nature shooter Neil McIntyre.

My winning entry, along with the top 30 images will be put up on the SNH website in the next few days.

I'll pop a link up as soon as its available, and let you all know how i get on with my shoot when it happens.

Well done on getting first prize. Should be a good day out as long as it does not rain.
