Wow thanks everyone for your votes. I was excited when I saw that scene before me and hoped it would do well, so I am delighted to get my first ever place on this tough but great site. There were those other great images too and I feared the competition would be a bit strong for me. Thanks.

Well deserved win Andrew. A strong image and brilliantly processed.

I feel fortunate to have even been in the running given the competition. Ranking 3.333 is pretty good.

Thank you for mentioning that, Bobo. Nobody has been more consistently persistent in her endeavor to improve her photography in recent months than Christina. It's clear that the results have been paying off and will continue to pay off.

And of the many extremely knowledgeable photographers and kind members who take the time to go above and beyond, and out of their way to help others, you Mike Buckley come first and foremost to my mind. You've made a huge difference to my knowledge, and I know just by reading your replies to others that you've made a huge difference to many here, and continue to do so, as always. Thank you!
