Could be considered as blowing me own trumpet, but sometimes you feel the need :)

Made the top 20 out of nearly 6000 entries in the photographer-of-the-year comp in the 'Britain Inspired' and also top 150 out of 10,000 in the landscape section.
Just had an email to say been selected for the next stage, not sure exactly what that means yet.

Yep, I know most have seen the pic many many times before, feel free to give us a vote :top: yep, its that dog on the beach again lol.

CONGRATULATIONS Ben!! 2nd place is pretty awesome! I know 1st place is better, but hey!.... lets not forget the stiff competition you were up against (even if it was Man U). I think its still an incredible achievement.... Go Ben!!!:D
