I'm making an extra post because I'm so excited! I woke up at 4am; I've been tossing and turning, and finally decided to cut my losses and get up and log on to the Net. I'm so glad I did - I visited Digital SLR User magazine's site, and found out that this shot has made a shortlist of 16 to win their Location Portrait competition!!!
This shot holds wonderful memories for me. I took it in July 2006 while my parents were visiting, while we were on a day trip in Northumberland. My mom spotted this little fellow wading in the water at the causeway leading to Holy Island, struck up a conversation with his parents, and asked if it was okay if we photographed him. It was a terrific day out, and to say I'm thrilled with my achievement is an understatement!!!?
Here's the link to the magazine:

Unfortunately, I have to wait until March 15th to find out if I've won - the prize is a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 lens. Even if I don't win, I'm over the moon at having been selected for the shortlist!
Okay - excited babbling done! LOL

Congratulations this is an awesome shot, one of those once in a lifetime sort of shots where everything is perfect, light, pose etc.
Keeping fingers and toes crossed that it gets further.
Oh and regarding stactites and stalagmites, I always remember that stalaCtite has a C in it so it hangs from the "C"eiling and the StalaGmite has a G in it so it comes up from the "G"round.
Hope you had a great Sunday and thanks for all your posts on my blog. (((HUGS)))
