At a gala ceremony on 8 September 2011, award winners were announced at the Royal Observatory Greenwich in the UK.
Some 800 entries from around the World were judged and I was honoured to find out my image of
The Fighting Dragons of Ara made the final five in the Deep Space category and then received a
Highly Commended award in this prestigious international competition...it's a little bit like a dream :-o

Here is a nice slide show featuring some of the winning images and narrated by the Royal Observatory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggmwcgv6iS4
