Hi there ripphotography,
I'm sorry for the late reply to your initial query. Your image titled "Geek' was indeed shortlisted, and judged with the other images on the final judging day. However, after it was brought to our attention by forum users that the image had won an award in the AOP student awards (
http://awards.the-aop.org/2009_Student_Awards) we removed it to investigate further. We apologise for the poor communication, but sadly your image was not eligible for entry. If you have any further queries, please contact me. Best wishes. Ben
