The article

Here is the article from our paper with my winning entry. (click to enlarge) I was a little surprised to read that some of the article was quoted by me! The judge's comments about my photo on the internet were "A nice, relaxed, laid-back portrait showing the essence of the holidays."
I received my camera this week and wow... how flash (no pun intended)! The picture quality is amazing. I just need to purchase a new memory stick as the big one I have for my Kodak doesn't fit. Bugger!
I still cannot believe I won. Especially looking at the 70-odd other entries the paper has posted on the website.
