This pictures makes me feels like its giving the finger to its viewers.
This is the second time this picture has won something for me. Took this shot when i first started photography and i know nuts during those days. Still its shots taken then that made me USD $100 richer which is also my first $$$ after investing so much into this hobby. I find this picture not really something to shout at but the judges decision is final.
Well, the price money is just a consolation. Not even enough for me to buy a new lens. So anyone wants me to do wedding or ROM photogs for you?
