Winner

Judge's 'First Place' Photographic award given to Southport Author, Pat Regan  

Well that's a very nice surprise - I just picked up a 'First place' award in an international  Pixoto Photography Contest with a macro shot that I took with my last Fuji (S4800) camera. 

Not too bad out of 577 entries in this challenge competition ...

This was pleasing as I always love taking shots of nature and particularly butterflies and birds...

It just goes to show that one does NOT need all the most expensive DSLR photographic gear to reach the mark with such challenges and that bridge cameras are banging  the pressure on in such areas... 

Before this win I manged a second and seventh place in other contests 

This 'Street Performers' competition  had 175 entrants.

172 entries were in the Winter Moons challenge ..

Thanks Pixoto for the inspiration to continue ...
