My first published photo

Not exactly presitigous, but I manged to get published in "the london paper"s (a free evening paper you get in London, for those who don't know) Picture of the day section a couple of weeks ago (just got round to posting about it on here lol). It was a first for me

heres the photo in question -

notice how the deers tail obscures the number plate nicely, so no editing it out was needed - I obvioulsy planned this....maybe

Nice work , i hope you kept a few copies of the paper for your scrap book next stop winning wildlife photographer of the year ... maybe ... sounds unlikely but one wab member (wolfhill) has won their age group category so it can be done

Re: My first published photo

Congrats both on capturing a good image and having it published.

I hope it's the first of many for you.

Well done. It's a good picture. The deer don't seem at all concerned about the queue of traffic!

Re: My first published photo

Congratulations .... there is always a buzz when you have a photo published.

As it was a London paper, I am assuming that the photo was taken in Richmond Park?
