So THIS is rather amazing!  I entered only 3 images into the Landscape in Camera category of the NZ & Australian Iris Awards .. (This category is more purist, and no photoshopping, layers etc is allowed). 

The way the scoring works is that, if the images are judged well and gets awarded high, the top 3 images from the top 3 finalists (all done on a point score), gets the entrant Finalist of 3 for the Year!  And I made it!  

So finalist in 2 categories is rather an achievement and I'm super rapt! 

These images are now in my Print Shop, go check them out!   .. but WAIT! .. There's more news coming :-D ..
