I am very happy to announce I gained my Licentiateship of the Royal Photographic Society on Sunday 22 February at the Focus on Imaging Show, Birmingham.

It was a nerve racking day to say the least. Watching the other panels being judged and hearing the comments, I kept thinking 'Oh God I haven't done enough!' Thankfully when my panel came up the comments were very good and they raved over a couple of the images. I knew I had it in the bag :biggrin:

you can view my winning panel at this link http://www.diffanglephoto.co.uk/LRPS/

Well I have no idea what LRPS is (care to explain?), but I love the lion cub and secretary bird. Congrats.

Congratulations on receiving this honor. I'm sure it took a lot of talent and hard work.

I just received my certificate this morning so here is the blurb the RPS uses to describe themselves

"The Royal Photographic Society, founded in 1853, is the most prestigious international photographic society. It has long been recognised for the promotion and maintenance of high photographic standards around the world and has established itself worldwide through its programme of touring exhibitions, events and special interest groups. In order to gain a Distinction, a photographer has to submit a portfolio for approval by a highly qualified Panel of Fellows of the Society, or hold one of the accepted qualifications."
