Thanks!

[Vetteography]

Congratulations!

[skade]

Thanks everyone! Geezz I only wish my family would congratulate me as much as you guys do, they dont think its a big deal at all. But it is for me!

[stoneylonesome]

congratulations. Sandi, that is great I'll have to keep my eye out for that issue over here. Not sure when it'll hit the newstands here in the States, or if it's the same as the one that comes out of the UK, where our issues come from. I'll have to assume it will be June or July's issue. Again congratulations and enjoy the new great tripod.

[JMAS]

Congratulations, Sandi!
That photo is great. Glad they realized it!

[Belmondo]

This is not the time to rest on your laurels, but that tripod should be good to lean on.

Congratulations. Keep 'em coming.

[Carzee]

Congrats on that. Sunsets over the ocean are hard to organise over here...

I always wondered who was the one who buys that magazine.

You'll have to update your sig re the tripod. I currently use a free tripod thats real nasty.

[tumbleweed]

Awesome!

[skade]

Hmm Im really not sure stoneylonesome, if it is the same one that comes out in the UK. It is the Australian edition, and apparently "Australia's best selling digital photography magazine." Issue Edition #28, which is on sale as of today over here in Oz.(And Ive just been to the local newsagent and they havent unpacked it yet Grrrrrr, will have to go back later lol)

[tcaran]

Wonderful shot Sandi. And what a thrill it must be to win the contest AND have it published. Congrats!

[cfcRebel]

[flapsmcgee]

[skade]

Thanks again everyone! Would you believe I cant even get a copy of the magazine! I still havent seen it yet lol. The newsagency has now told me it wont be there until Monday.

[rssfhs]

Is there someplace you can submit photos to the magazine online? How did they find out about your photo?

[skade]

I submitted the photo to the magazine itself.

[dannym]

I'm so happy for you Sandi. This was well deserved.

Sandi... It's an absolutely beautiful photo and you deserve first prize. I'm so happy for you... congratulations! Is that magazine distributed in the U.S.?

[skade]

What an overwhelming response! Thanks to you all! I have no idea if the mag is in the U.S Karen. Sorry I cant help you with that one.

[rafiki]

Lovely shot. Congratulations!

[stoneylonesome]

Sandi... It's an absolutely beautiful photo and you deserve first prize. I'm so happy for you... congratulations! Is that magazine distributed in the U.S.?

Karen, I have seen that magazine here in the States at Borders Books and I believe Barnes and Noble. The issue we get here is out of the UK so I'm not hundred percent sure if it's the same as the one in Oz. I'll be looking for it myself. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[RockOne]

Congratulations on your win. It's a simply stunning photo !. I don't often buy magazines (they eat into the L funds :-) ), but I'll keep an eye out for this one.

[marie]

that's wonderful that you received the tripod Sandy:D :D
very best congratulations again

I know what you mean about the shots when printed:confused:
I got four in a glossy magazine in March .
they looked a bit different also:lol:
one picture was spead right across the two centre pages, squeezed (where they hold the pages together)

but I am very pleased.
beggars can't be choosers

( got a cheque ;) )

[skade]

Congrats to you as well then!! Lol Must have been great to get paid for your shots!
