I’m absolutely flabbergasted! The pictured above got selected from over 2,000 entries as one of the 12 finalists in Round 3 (whose theme was “Uniform”) of the BBC’s Photographer of the Year 2006 competition, and I only just found out! I submitted this (and some other photos) 2+ weeks ago, and then forgot all about it due to being swamped with semester prep. (Sadly, it took a Google alert to bring it to my attention, which says way too much about my abysmal mail spool management.)
The voting ended days ago (so I can’t beg for votes, or even vote myself), and it looks like it died pretty bad in the popular vote (almost certainly small single digit percentages). But, hey, being chosen as one of 12 out of over 2K is pretty darn cool! Amazing!
Congratulations on being shortlisted though – that’s fantastic!
Awesome!
Congratulations! This is SOOOOOOO cool!
