I took this photo in India last year and I must have entered it into about 20 photo competitions so far. I don't take many good shots so when I get lucky I want to make the most of it! Finally the law of averages prevailed and I made it into the shortlist of The Guardian's monthly travel photo competition. Fame at last (well, sort of!).
Is it wrong to be more interested and excited about an election in a foreign country than ones in your own? What better way to celebrate than with a great free mix. I can't quite picture artists being galvanised to promote Brown or Cameron in this way but you never know...
