Quite the show-off

I am so happy I have 2 photos selected for the 10/24 Gallery for 2009. You can view the gallery at http://www.perceptionthree.net/1024/gallery.html

I am now pondering whether to apply for Shooting Home 2010. The trouble is, if I do get in, I will have to take time off (3 days) from work in March, which will be difficult to secure. No-pay leave maybe?
