Hello Andy, congrats! Well deserved, and you are right, persuance and commitment play a role in reaching goals. One of the coolest shots I've seen, and I'm so glad you submitted it for the world to see! I'm so happy for you, and wish you many more accolades!
Congratulation Andy, nothing beat hard work, plenty of talents and a little luck.
You might won a even bigger prize for captured me taking the bite bite of donuts in a morning in the same fashion !...
Andy, all of your shots are examples of consistent and outstanding work. However it is only through persistent effort that one gets the "holy grail". I admire your work!
I'm so happy for you, what an honor that you are so deserving of. I have followed your work from the first day that I came to FM. Congrats and well wishes for what's to come from you.
You earned it BIG TIME! (..and of-course...Nikon was there )
It's is an awesome prize winning shot.
Dick,
From the sound of it, I guess you're a Nikon shooter? I think Nikon is making a comeback, if not already surpassed the other brand. Well, I'm happy with my current gear. It doesn't cost like a new car, but it gets the job done.
Thank you, Sir!
