My mosque photo was published in Digital Camera Magazine - Malaysian Version, June 2006 issue under Hotshots Section. Although it doesn't qualify to be the best shot of the month and I am not paid for the publication of this photo, having my work selected to be published has already made my day for an amateur photographer like me.
My good friend Ted might not agree with me. He is a pro anyway and I am talking about amateur photographer.

Au contraire my dear fried Master Zain, A reward may not be monetary nor materialistic, a recognition within one own circle and perhaps and oppurtunity to expand one own horizon is sometimes far far more rewarding.
Being published is a recognition, one should be very proud with that. At the same time tho, the pursuit of excellence and betterment (sic) of one own achievement is a never ending quest.
A 'Kongratulasi' is definitely in order.
On a technical note, magenta sky is due to faulty processing by the colour lab. Like what posted in other forums, some technicians in sone colour lab in KL is positive proof that Aliens has landed on Earth.

Thanks my Ted for your lengthy comments, observation and words of encouragement. A word of encouragement coming from someone well known in a photographic fraternity like you is something meaningful. Technical-wise yes the sky looks magenta-biased perhaps what you say about the colour processing lab in KL is true. We still have long way to go to match the superb quality of prints like what we always admire in N. Geographic or Practical Photography Mags.
