This year has started out rather well! In January we came back from a holiday to see family in Australia to find that I had won the RSPB monthly lottery of £1000 and this yesterday I won the Dell laptop computer here on ephotozine! How good is THAT!
Needless to say I have just been on line to buy a Lottery ticket 
ENTER THE COMPETITIONS! YOU MAY NOT WIN BUT IF YOU DON'T ENTER YOU WONT!

True - You gotta be in it to win it and the probability prophet is a pretty random lad who'll never find you without your entry.
Double congratulations. Fingers crossed for a triple sooner than later 
Well done!
I've given up with the competitions... only ever get "not placed" in the photo comps and didn't even win the capture one express at xmas (and there were supposed to be 30,000 of them!)
Still I suppose someone has to be unlucky for someone else to be lucky!

I think Its often about the others quality more than me - so if there is a weak set of other entries then i stand a chance some comps have tiny amounts of entries - your odds can go down to 1 in 100. Also I generally prefer non skill based comps as we all can win
Peter, I'm in awe of your work and even i've been placed once so hang in there - it will happen when the mix is right.

Thanks jackalltog... I'm just getting a bit frustrated at the moment. I started a year and a half ago as a totally inept photographer, but he better I think I am getting with my camera, the worse I do. I'm desperately trying to work out where I'm going wrong and where to go next!
Double congrats, CC. Good to set a high standard for the rest of the year.
Personally, I was very chuffed to win the last of the 4 e2 memberships that were up for grabs in the Jan. comp. Even more so when you look at the 'opposition'. I now do not have to fork out again until July 2015, which is nice for a canny scot.

LOL i know that feeling in fact i think many many people know that feeling. I console myself in this with the fact that actually I now see more of the areas for improvement than I ever did. Have to be careful not to get sucked away from the art and into the techniques as you learn them.
