A ROMANTIC adventure has turned into a prize winning experience for one Lowestoft amateur photographer.

David Baldry, of May Road, took this image as he travelled across southern Thailand with his fianc�e Anni Jones.

They were searching for a location to get married in 2012, and snapped this long tail boat at their chosen location of Ko Phi Phi Don. Now the photograph has been named The Journal's Picture of the Week.

David will receive his photograph in a 12in x 10in frame, mounted and inscribed, worth more than �60, from Picture Studios, of London Road North, Lowestoft. The winning picture will also go forward to our next six-monthly winners' final contest, when he will be in with a chance of claiming a 12in x 18in photo block worth �130.

We are accepting images for next week's competition. They can be of any subject, whether they are entertaining snapshots, luscious landscapes or a close-up brush with nature. They must be taken by amateur photographers, and we'd prefer digital pictures. We do accept prints, but they need to be copies as we cannot guarantee their return. Send your picture with your name, address and contact details to richard.wood@archant.co.uk marking your email Journal Photo Competition. Prints can be sent to Picture of the Week, The Journal, 147 London Road North, Lowestoft, NR32 1NB.
