Thank you Macro girl. Australia & New zealand are 2 of my favorite spots for Landscape. I am hoping to be there in the coming years and also watch some cricket in Sydney & Melbourne

Thankyou abak88. You are right. Ideas to capture have to be fresh and unique. 24 hours time limit and lots of good photographers every year makes the competition more challenging. I really enjoyed it .
