Holy Mackerel!!!! I’m in a state of shock! Thank you so much!!! I can’t wait to tell my wife! Her first reaction to this image when she saw it was “OMG Paul, OK. I’m just going to pretend I never saw that.” I'm pretty sure she thinks I’ve lost a couple of cards out of the deck when it comes to photography and especially this challenge series.

This is truly an incredible honor and one that I will cherish forever. Thank you to Smugmug, B&H Photo & Fotoflot for their fantastic support. A HUGE THANK YOU to Emily for all of the time and effort she puts into running this series and for putting up with all of us wacky photographer types. But the biggest and bestest thank you goes to all of you folks here in Dgrin land for your wonderful camaraderie, support and feedback…this is truly a great place to hangout, share and learn and I’m so very glad to be a part of it!

WAH-WHOOOOO!!!
