Better Photography Photography of the Year Awards 2012

I entered a couple of "different" images this year, and was rewarded with a category win for "Incredible Sport"

Also made 38th in Creative Flair category, so a successful year!

Just thought I'd have a little brag is all

Well Done Shirl

Your shot is definitely one of the most original and creative cycling shots I've seen.

Good one Shirl.
If I remember right, the photo was posted on AP way back somewhere. I was impressed way back then.

'Grats indeed.

Very interesting shot and well presented.

**FallingHorse** · 13-09-2012, 11:20pm

Well done Shirl, congratulations

**sunny6teen** · 13-09-2012, 11:36pm

I entered a couple in the landscape and travel categories but yours was a standout. I'd happily place it behind the overall winner. I thought the other category winners were a bit drab in comparison. brilliant idea

**Mary Anne** · 13-09-2012, 11:44pm

Good on you Shirl and

on this great achievement.

**merlin1** · 14-09-2012, 1:24pm

Well done, congratulations.

Thanks everyone. Just goes to show that good opportunities often come from unlikely situations. I had been dragged along to take photos of my partner's cycle team, certainly wasnt ecpecting to get any shots "for myself". Got all excited when I saw the shadows and realised the possibilities!!

That is a true quality of a photographer, nothing planned but "saw" the image before you took it.

**Shelley** · 14-09-2012, 9:59pm

Well done Shirl, you deserve it and the right to brag. Good stuff.

**swifty** · 14-09-2012, 10:24pm

Congrats on the win and a great photo.

**Mathy** · 15-09-2012, 12:43am

Awesome, well done. I really like your Incredible Sport winning entry, very out of left field
