Congratulations Noel in the Pacenotes Competition my money was always on the quarry shot on two wheels I thought it was class but different people have different views and the shot thats won is a worthy winner.

Well Done

Big Thankyou for all the support guys
I found out on Sunday night that I had won when Simon Mooney of Pacenotes phoned me
With the news that the Lark in the Park photo won it.
I was speechless couldn't say a word for a second or two hasn't sunk in yet
It is the first thing I have ever won in my life and to win 2 whole Grand
YEEEEPEEEEEE!

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the pacenotes team for Organising such
a fantastic competition with a prize which was second to none.

Now must get that new D2X ordered

Thanks
Noel

i personally think the photo is crap.

Sure it is sharp and all, but really, a picture of a car door winning 2 grand?

I don't mean any disrespect or anything, but i've hundreds better pictures taken this year, not least noels shot of the mk2 on 2 wheels.

naw it was the shot of the astra from lark in the park that won real tight crop due to noel having the 300mm on and the ariel is slightly bending with the force of the car coming onto it as she landed on her roof !

found it on noels site

Well done, one of many excellent photos you have taken this year. Dont spend the 2k in one shop. Something different, glad to see the top prize go to a deserving photographer

In all fairness, that's a really cool photo. Bit of artistic flair in there too! Well done.

check out www.rallypics.org home page, same incident only all of the car in the pic, nicer shot in my opinion. But it is just my opinion., I know my finepix does what I want it to do, few wee snap shots.
