8 out of 8!
Fotoclub Siliguri – Everest International Digital Salon 2018 When I realised last month I was 4 images shy of the 50 mark required for EFIAP Bronze, I dug out 12 new works to submit to 3 salons. The first returned zero acceptances and left me very worried I would not make the EFIAP\b criteria, but
