PPG: One made it

areidjr · Jan 22, 2008

I got a nice little surprise this evening. I found that one of my photos got accepted into the PPG.

Here's the only one that made it so far:

This puts me at somewhere around 1 for 22.

Very nice capture. It's certainly not easy to get into the PPG.
Nice going.

Thanks, Moho. I've seen so many great shots not get in that it was a pleasant surprise to have one accepted.

This one really deserves to make it - nice and sharp with excellent colours and pleasant out-of-focus areas. Well done!

Beautiful! There have been a lot of birds submitted to the PPG lately, but this one really stands out - well deserved!

(I sometimes can't believe my eyes when I look at some of the bird submissions, they must be 100% crops shot at ISO 1600 pushed to 6400 - looks worse than my W10 at highest ISO in the night!)

Thanks, Lars. I just love my K100D Super and my ever growing lens collection. Considering how many excellent shots didn't make it into the gallery, I truely feel honored.

Thanks, Espen. I've submitted a hand full of birds along with some flowers, lions, primates, landscapes, macros, etc.

I sure hope that none of the shots I submitted fell into that category

Well, only if they were remotely different from the one that got in

Congratulations!

Great photo Al, I've noticed it in the 'recent' gallery. Not only the bird is so sharp, I also like the colours in the out-of-focus area.
I wonder how long it will take for me to get one accepted
