Default OH MY OH MY!!! I got in the top 20 for a SONY photo contest!!!!!

OK out of all the participants I made it to the TOP 20 in the SONY Twilight photo contest!!!!

First place is a bunch of SONY camera equipment and an all expense paid trip to one of 7 locations around the world to shoot a soccer match with SONY's new line of DSLR's and Video equipment. I am choosing the Australia location if I win!!!

20 Sony Twilight Photo Contest Finalists » Photography Bay | Digital Camera Reviews, News and Resources

My entry is number 7


And to you ALL THANK YOU I would have NEVER made it without each and every one of you guys help and direction and all of the help and learning I have gotten here.

EDIT: UPDATE
Here is the Email I got telling me I had won!!

Congrats Tony and good work! I love that photo of the church. It really stood out as a favorite for me. I liked your other sunset shots as well; however, that little church lit up with the reflection in the water really made it stand out from the crowd.

It's all in Sony's judges' hands now though.

Good luck!

Eric
