End Of Year Showcase 2012 - Category Winners

[jonesgj]

Congratulations to everyone who entered, and thanks to those who took the time to view and vote.

I hope you agree with me that the standard is very high and even those who weren't category winners, were superb in their own right.

Colin, what can I say but well done, 3 winners! and the overall winner, fantastic, very well done. Hope you read the small print that said the winner buys everyone a pint!

Congratulations to all the Category Winners, all are Superb Pic's, well done too to everyone who entered a series of pictures to be voted on.

Graydon, As someone else said previously the real winners are all of us, the EOS Forum Members for having you conduct the competition in such a professional way, I can't begin to imagine the time you must have spent on it for a second year running too.

Re: End Of Year Showcase 2012 - Category Winners

Superb winners, really exceptional entries this year.

Well done to all the Category winners, and well done to Colin from me for a great overall winner shot.

Obviously the fantastic quality of entries ensured I just missed out again (!), but they are all very inspirational, so thanks you from me to all who entered.

Last, but not least, Well Done Graydon... another well run EOYS, very professional and prompt! Nicely done, you deserve a medal!

All the best, Mike.

Re: End Of Year Showcase 2012 - Category Winners

I feel very humble that so many of you voted for me and also very delighted. Although it is very wet and miserable outside, it is a very sunny place at my computer as I type this.

Well done to everyone who entered and especially so to the category winners; I have just double checked my votes and I have actually voted for all of the other winners, so it is equally nice when the majority also agree.

Graydon you ol' dog .......you've pulled it off again. I can only begin to imagine the amount of effort involved in making this work and it must be even worse psychologically, when entries and votes are slow to trickle in, but a huge sigh of relief when that trickle turns into a rush. Very well done once again.
