Decided to write a short entry on this...

The shortlisted entries have been released - click here to see

I'm very blessed to have one of my shots (see previous blog post) selected for the competition (heard that there's like 1300 entries and they shortlisted 60). Looking at all the other entries, I know that there's no way I'm going to win anything but that doesn't matter to me.

To win anything is a bonus seriously... I'm just happy to have participated and shortlisted :)

The entries have also opened my eyes to the various perspectives on Travel photography and that you need not to go to exotic places to get shots that you usually see in Nat Geo mags but it can happen anywhere.. even at your neighbourhood basketball court! I, in particular, love the very last shot of the collage (Man smoking a cigg in an Italian flag colored helmet)... totally cracks me up!

Anyway, do make time to come down to the exhibition to be inspired!
