65th Leyte Landing Photo Competition.

I joined the 65th leyte landing photo competition 2009 for experience and self learning, and simply enjoy,… this is my first time to join a photo competition, I may not be good in photography but I did my very best and i’m happy for it,  even though i did not win…..,there’s still next year!, and another years will come,. i still have a lot years to learn and explore my photography and capturing,  ” this is an art and a skill and this, will remain in my heart.” GOD has plans, and i know that every thing in life has a challenge.

This are the pictures i submitted “Uniquely Leyte”
