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

me too in landscape- love/need a new exped mattress. Only problem is after submitting it thought i'd print it to see what looks like and spotted a bunch of things to edit- ie local contrast etc. wish i had printed it before submitting!

The winners and HC's are up on their website.

Got a HC for my action shot but the one that won is an absolutely stunning photo.

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!)

Hmm - maybe Robatman got an HC in the Landscape section?

[Robatman]

doing a search for something else and clicked this- yes thats me! first time in a comp. very happy.

and yes oberon is just universally appealing.
