A great day for an aspiring photographer

Yesterday was a great day. First, the photo above received the first fave100-award on Zooomr for reaching 100 favs. While I really like the photo, I never imagined that it would be this popular. Next, Thomas Hawk published a link to the photo on FriendFeed. On FriendFeed it got quite a lot of likes and a number of people started to subscribe to my feed. Back on Zooomr, the photo gained over twenty new favs. The current tally is up to 126, amazing!
Early evening, I got a mail from Photrade telling me that someone had left a comment on one of my photos. Photrade is a photosharing site where you can sell your photos and you also get a part of the site’s ad revenue. Since a couple of people on Zooomr had uploaded photos to Photrade, I uploaded some as well last weekend. However, I didn’t check out the site and I don’t know much about it or their business plan. I logged in to check on the comment, and man was I surprised! Photrade had selected one of my photos as their “Featured photo of the week“. They had also made a very nice write-up about the photo. I didn’t see this one coming at all, a very nice surprise!
The only bad thing of the day was the announcement of the Nikon D700. Why must I be shooting Canon?
That is a great day indeed. And from what I have seen, I am sure this is just the first of many photos that you will receive these accolades for.

Love the pic! The light carries it a long way! It’s entrancing.
We all know Canon is the way to go
ISO 25600 for the D700??? are they serious? I’d like to see some shots of that!
Anyway, I’d rather buy 2 top shelf L-lenses than shell out $3K for a body!
