Double celebration!

My 500th upload as bm2, but also I learned today that one of my tree shots has been chosen by The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London to go into their major summer exhibition of photography. The pictures will be large and outside between May and Sept. The pictures will also be published in a book. The final judging for the overall winner is at the end of April I think. I took the precaution of removing the shot from my stream, but I've posted this as a clue! Info: www.igpoty.com/

    Well done Terry, it couldn't have happened to a nicer chap. If I had a hat, I'd take it off to you !
    As for this shot, if you look at it closer, it has fabulous detail to the right of the tree.

    Thanks everyone...without the support of you all on Flickr I wouldn't have thought of entering. I'm always amazed at the quality of your work and the genial good humour that everyone expresses!

    Congratulations!

    And this is lovely, too. I agree with nurmanman1. It takes a little to notice all the detail, and then 'gosh, look at those subtle colours'.
