I submitted images to the Royal Photographic Society to apply for my Licentiateship Distinction. These were successful and I will now be looking to obtain my Associate Distinction in due course. I have included the successful panel on the gallery page. The dolphin image, taken off the straits of Gibraltar, was awarded the Alex Watson memorial trophy in the Best Nature Print in Midphot 2008.
