UWP Dutch Championship

Last Friday (26th of september) the Jury of the Dutch Campionship for UWP announced the results.

I couldn't be there, because I was still in Egypte to work on my Port-Folio.

But on Saturday I received a phonecall from the Netherlands...

I got third in the macro category, first in the fishportret and first in wide-angle with model.

In the wide-angle category I'm not in the first 3...

But because of the listings in the other categories I turned out to be the new Dutch Champion!

As soon as all the pictures of the competition are online, I'll post a link here.

Well done and congratulations Pieter. I look forward to seeing the online photos.

congrats! too darn cold for me out there

I was at the anouncment, everybody looked really funny when they first announced Pieter as one of the categories winners. Pieter, is he here, mm, no, etc...

I have to say I was really impressed: Altough I took part in the NK championship (missed the second day because I was sick), I felt that the

pictures entered in the beginner categorie would already beat me.

So (even more) congrats to you Pieter !

Thanks!

@Cerianthus; I did see the presentation of all the images in June, on the selection day. I was also impressed by the high quality of photographs.

If I had been there on the announcement, I think I would have looked really funny to if they announced me as one of the winners...

Imagine what I looked like when I received that phonecall. I really couldn't believe it, hung up the phone and ran for the internetcafe,

Congratulations Pieterrutten!!!

Today Aquashot, the organisation of the Dutch UWP, has published all winning photo's on their website.
