National photgraphy contest finale!

I'm very proud to announce that one of my photos has been selected as one of 18 finale photos in a national photocontest! The contest is related to a television series in which a bunch of scientists are following the route of Charles Darwin's Beagle travel on a comparable vessel, only perfoming modern science. Among them is the famous traveller and writer Redmond O'Hanlon. One could enter 5 photo's that were taken in a place that Darwin visited. I entered photos taken at mount Teide, Tenerife. A magical place.
Pre-selection was done by a jury, the winner will be decided by public votes. But I'm happy already, since this was my first entry ever in a photography contest and I submitted a photo that was taken with a simple point-and-shoot, without any PP and before my time with BPN :D!!!
Check out my entry and the competition at http://stem.omroep.nl/VPRO/2010/147-...-fotowedstrijd.

Very nice image, Jerry!! Big congrats!!

Congratulations and good luck!

Big time congrats and best of luck

Congratulations on this honor and hope congratulations will be in order again!

Thanks for all your congratulations! Fabs, I was tempted to do so, but I think it would be considered cheating, although no specific rules have been stated. I think the idea is that only the Dutch and Belgians (the two countries in which the show is currently broadcasted) are allowed to vote.
I'll keep you posted!

Hey Jerry, congrats and good luck!

Hey Jerry - Awesome news. Congrats and I hope you enter and win many more!

Way to go, Jerry! Let us know how it all turns out!
