Unseen Asia 2011 Winner

My face-to-face with a longhorn beetle image won the Reader's Digest Unseen Asia 2011, March challenge. The prize is a Ricoh CX4. I have always wanted a compact camera/ point & shoot that I can carry with me at all times and also for blogging!

It is my first time winning something in a photo contest. I am so lucky! Thanks to Jeffrey Siow for the early good news.

    Thanks lil missy. It was a huge LH beetle...probably 7 - 8 cm long excluding the antennae.
