I got one into the action shortlist, and would have liked to go but Melbourne is just a bit too far away.

Totally missed this comp :(

I see Oberon takes the prize again. Should be banned from photo competitions that place!

Some fantastic shots in amongst them that's for sure!

Well done Vern, tsangpo, eggs (and anyone else whose handle can't be easily matched to a name :) ). I did met Vern up at Summit Gear, though I wouldn't have known him from his handle ( I even voted for his people's choice winner!)
