HAAAAA!!! WHOOOOOOO!!!!! First ever win!!!

Thank you SO much for every vote everyone!!!!

I'm seriously like a little starstruck schoolgirl right now I just seriously can't even contain myself. And to think I was just about to give up on all this photocomp hooey LOL

Seriously thank you.

@Amac500 man if I had a dollar for everytime this week I thought it was over because of your awesome shot it would've paid for every future DLC ever released! Great shot man 👍

Is everyone this childish when they get their first win? Lol, thank you everyone :)

Thanks man... I appreciate that coming from you... a man I have just barely lost to a few times (and rightly so!) In close matches... and amongst literally everyone else in this comp, so lucky am I!

I now feel like an honorary part of the club I've looked up to and chased for some time now... :-)

Strangley, I actually hold this higher than contests I won with real photos back when I was an irl freelance photog... :bowdown:

Guys I know exactly what it is - After that first one which I posted in my gallery I could jump for joy (did a few fist pumps) told the wife, which knocked me down with "did you win something? No - go get a job"
After that I thought ok done that now what - Next target, Try and win one of each of the four comps which I did by some luck I guess.
So proud that I also posted those in my gallery's first post.
Now I thought I can sit back and relax and give the others a chance to experience that too, but find myself itching to participate - don't know why - must be the great competition!!

Honestly I will start skipping some as I want to improve my hobby photography as gt6 is taking up a lot and I have a family and ... and ... and.... yada yada yada

Congrats Again skeeter

Ps. Now where is your gallery?
 
Good competition was close all the way through! Bummed I didn't win after being so close, still looking for my 2nd win. But this was a very nice way for me to bounce back from missing the tournament! Congrats @smskeeter23, good to see you get your first :cheers:

Well done mate and welcome to the club!
I felt the same way like you with my first win back in those good old GT5 days. Any first time of anything is an outstanding event which you won't forget too soon.
Carry on and please us with some additional pictures of that quality!!!

Thanks 👍:)

I think I've got a good theme picked out. We'll see. It'll probably be one of those "I love it" or "I hate it" themes, but definitely something different :sly:
