New Year's Day Surprise

Woke up this morning (i.e. New Year's Day) to find that one of my Roller Derby images from last month had been awarded a third place by one of the judges in the monthly Roller Derby Photo Competition run by the F2.8 Fast Glass group. Only the second time I had entered some shots - mainly because I was pretty intimidated by the quality of the shots which other members entered. I was added to this Facebook group last year and have found it to be just a wee bit inspirational and challenging and I have picked up a hell of a lot of tips and ideas from the group - almost 400 members from all around the world wherever Roller Derby is played.

Although the quality of the other member's work is scary, I really loved this shot which I posted on the blog at the start of December. No excuses for re-posting it again.
