I must brag. I just must!

Few weeks back I submitted few of my photos to photo contest held by a local Photo Club.
(
Photo Club of Sombor - [link])
And since the most of their members are pretty professional photographers I thought that I don't stand a chance. Especially because I submitted my photos in the last second cut pretty bad and in strange crops.
(most of my photos are in totally non-standard resolutions).A week ago on their site they posted the list of winners. In total there were 3 prizes for photo a collection, 5 prizes for a individual photo and 2 acknowledgements for submitting their photos. I was in the last group.
147 photos (from 40 authors) were submitted and only 90 photos (from 39 authors) were accepted.
Then, just a few days back they added a list of (special) awards for a individual photo given by IDIF - Institute Of Digital Photography from Prague -

And I got the first award for this piece of "art":

It was quite a shock for me!

Anyhow - I went to the the art exhibition with my better half and it was just great! Bunch of people came (most of them much older then me).
The feeling of being awarded in front of so many people and to get an applause - priceless!

I just hope that these awards are just a begging.
