Dear Frank Siedlok,I am delighted to let you know that your picture “Regret” has one first prize in the People Category of the National Geographic 2011 photography contest.
National Geographic photographer, John Burcham, said of your picture:
“This image really captures a moment of real pain and frustration. The composition is excellent with the way the bull leads you to the matador.”
I would like to wish you a wonderful Christmas and very happy New Year.
Best regards,
National Geographic magazine

And the winning shot:
But there was more to this story. First, we got a nice free tasting of Bowmore whilst listening to Colin Prior talking about his travels and photography (link).
The evening was fab and we left with some valuable new knowledge of what judges in competitions are normally looking for as well as a few Bowmore miniatures.
The tips from Colin helped to choose the right shot - and the miniatures came handy to celebrate!
