I submitted my first photos to my instructor of the New York Institute of Photography Course and I won a New York Institute of Photography Award of Merit for these photos:
I am very proud of this because it was a particular and important goal of mine. According to NYIP, the award is given a very small percentage of their students. I won the award for the first three photos I turned in as my Unit 3 photo practical assignment.

Thanks! But actually it was Unit 1
Hope you are doing well on the course!
Anna,
Although very late (almost 3 years) congratualtion on gaining the NYIP award of merit. I had a quick look at the photographs and they are stunning. I especially like the blue rain. It reminds me of the new LED path lights near my home when it snows.
The cuddling tigers is also great, close second favourite
Hello Anna,
Just stumbled across your website after searching for slr photography, to gather some inspiration for my new business. Although not related to my search I just wanted to congratulate you on the award. The 3 photographs are sensational and well deserved.
Of all three I think the first stunning sunset is just stunning and really captures the atmosphere. I look forward to having a browse through your website.
