Oh, man, that's gorgeous so if there's any way you can expedite registration, and overnight it to them, you should go for it because that's a real stunner. :!:

Deleting the photos per advise of a former winner. I'll repost after the competition. If you missed seeing them and want to, PM me. 8-)

I'll have to keep an eye out for the next one, good luck to you both!]


Next one will be in two years, but there is another one that would suit your level of expertise. The Australian National! A lot more competitive as far as I understand and not yet considered for me personally.
