So that gives me a total of 4 images that will go forward into the annual competition in January at the SWPP Convention in London. The competition is fierce so I&#8217;m not holding my breath as typically it takes a truly spectacular image to win one of the annual categories. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>But I am already getting geared up for new images I can create in hopes of winning an annual award next year. I can only imagine the feeling of winning one of these, which must be fantastic. Last year I saw one of my images appear in the shortlist for Traditional Portraiture and knowing that I was in the top 4 was enough to leave me elated for the remainder of the evening and probably most of the following week. The high I would be on after actually winning one of these awards would surely last well into spring if I ever do someday receive this honour. <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I have great plans for next year so one can only hope. <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Here are the other 3 gold winners for this year. I am already very hopeful that I will have even more next year. It is certainly one of my New Year&#8217;s resolutions. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277096025937888258\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_o819gUGKYGQ\/STwC4FenRAI\/AAAAAAAAAXA\/nr7Q4jde2T0\/s400\/0809+-+Pets+-+Gold.jpg\" style=\"cursor: hand; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;\" \/><\/div>\n<p><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277095700362150818\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_o819gUGKYGQ\/STwClInTw6I\/AAAAAAAAAW4\/Zqc1OTzj2lA\/s400\/0802+-+Portraiture+Traditional+-+G.jpg\" style=\"cursor: hand; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277095413264777042\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_o819gUGKYGQ\/STwCUbF9f1I\/AAAAAAAAAWw\/vwCCmex2K9g\/s400\/0802+-+Family+%26+Group+Portraiture+-+G.jpg\" style=\"cursor: hand; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been given another gold in the SWPP Monthly competition.
