Bonsai makes finals of Canon competition!

Post by NBPCA »

Leigh Taafe took a picture of a bonsai for the "sequins" brief in the Canon EOS Photo 5 Competition. He has made the top 10 finalists out of over 1600 entries.

The winner is selected by public vote. All those who vote will go into the draw for a Canon DSLR and lens worth around $2500.

Here is a link to the picture. If you would like to vote, click on the link "Log in or sign up to vote".

Thanks Dianna, I appreciate your vote.

Voting is open until 29th November, so there is still plenty of time if anyone would like to vote.

I hope that someone I know wins the voter's prize.

Regards,
Leigh.

Thanks for your vote Mugen.


There is still a week to vote if you havent done so already. Be sure to sign up to vote, just a Facebook "Like" does not make a vote.
Each vote goes in the running to win a Canon 7D DSLR ($2500).

Thanks,
Leigh.

I voted but missed what I think was a 25 words or less answer so I guess I won't win any prizes :tounge:
Good luck Leigh :tu:
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
