A great competition (as per usual) and all efforts by the @Challenges_Committee and fellow entrants are greatly appreciated by me. It was great fun, though I’d have enjoyed it even more if I’d have been able to get all 25 subjects, regardless of my total points. Two of the subjects were impossible for me due to my location, though I wouldn’t have expected anyone who doesn’t live here to have known that (The Red coach/bus in no. 2 and the freight train in no. 7). I did submit, ahem, ‘alternative’ entries in lieu of these in the hope of at least a point, but these weren’t accepted - I thought that was overly strict, but I suppose in fairness the others who did get the subjects properly that had to be the case. I agree with the post made here in the original thread by Ade @firstadekit that all the subjects should be achieveable by any interested entrant and leave it to the hardcore competitors to go-for-broke on the bonuses. Aside from my two impossibles, I missed out on the windsurfers just through bad luck, despite numerous visits to the local coast. All said, it’s been a couple of months of fun, and an excuse to get out and about with the drone at every available opportunity. Bottom line is, I got as high as 5th, ended up 9th, so I’m happy enough to have finished in the top ten, but my preference would have been to have got all 25 subjects even if i’d ended up down at 30th. Will I enter next year? Hell, yes. And I hope everyone else who took part enjoyed as much as I did.
