Congrats Danny - it's an excellent shot and the prize is well deserved. Will it be displayed as a large print at Stephens Green ? It would be worth going along to see it in all it's glory.

A canon 5D and th3 24-105L. The L saved it as it is a fairly serious crop.

Where's it being used in the paper?

It's the Nokia competition in the magazine.

Will it be displayed as a large print at Stephens Green ?

Yes.As far as I know. I was told it will be there from Saturday.

Jesus, well done Danny.

Was well deserved

thebaz · 29-09-2007 12:24pm

Just saw the image Danny in the paper -- well done again -- think the online version looks crisper , but thats down to the publishing as all the images in the mag look a bit flat , maybe its my copy , but the IT quality is usually pretty good -- anyway congrats on winning , head and shoulders above the opposition

Cabaal · 29-09-2007 12:51pm

There's a on-line version?
Any chance of anybody scanning the page in question or sometghing?

shepthedog · 29-09-2007 1:23pm

Just had a look at it on paper.. Excellent and well deserved.. Miles ahead of the rest of the selection.. Well done again and enjoy spending that dosh

Nice bit of exposure for you too..

RoryW · 29-09-2007 1:26pm

had a quick look for the online version but couldnt find it - anyone have the link ?
