wwt photo competition

I would just like to congratulate Wayne <welsh lensman> on winning the wwt photography competition for 2009 with his photo titled "taking a ducking", the photo was posted on WAB well before it was entered in the competition so you can say "YOU SAW IT HERE FIRST".
well done Wayne.

Re: wwt photo competition

BRILLIANT!!! Well done Wayne, I look forward to shaking your hand next time I see you down the wetland centre....

And I would like to say well done Ade for posting the news,I think Wayne would be to humble to do it himself.

Re: wwt photo competition

Many thanks everyone for your kind remarks, I really appreciate them.

Your right bornwild, it was a camera that I won, a Nikon D90 with lens, but I don't think I'll be selling the one I took this Photo with, but nice try.
