A surprise at the end of year competition

I got a surprise at the camera club on Tuesday in the end of year competition. First prize for monochrome print and second place for colour print.
For the end of year competition we could enter up to three images per section that had been entered into a monthly competition in that year. With the sections being monochrome print, colour print and EDI. The judge then selects first, second and third in each section.
As I had only submitted two monochrome prints (I had done a couple of mono EDIs, but they had to have been entered as a print) that is all I was able to submit. Of these it was my photo of water lillies that got first place.
As I mentioned at the time, this was a colour image that I played around with in monochrome. While most of the effort I put into it was to remove spots from the leaves, the judge read a lot more into it. But hey, first is first.
In the colour print competition I received second place for an image that I liked mostly for the joke:
The judge agreed, but not enough for first place :(
I was a little disappointed that my Lego based images didn’t get any prizes, but there only being three prizes and all of the entries being people’s best, that is not surprising.

Just pipped at the post in what was a great image with two Baboons on it?
