Ok… i sent this photograph to Nikon for their current #IAMALIVE photography competition (actually, my first photography competition to participate in). Out of more than 700 amazing photographs from several very good photographers, i am honored to be among the 30 finalist. Nikon said that if you vote for me and share this post, i will win the 3rd prize (people’s choice). Guess what? I don’t want to win the 3rd prize but the 1st one…LOL.
