    Congratulations Ron!! I really enjoy all of your landscape/cityscape photos from the Pacific Northwest. In fact you've inspired me to vacation either in 2010 or 2011 in that area just to see it. Well deserved victory - absolutely beautiful image amongst some stunning competition.

    Wow! I'm stunned! wings.gif

    Thanks to Emily for the great topic and the judges for their difficult job of ranking photos amongst a fantastic set of entries. There were many candidates which could have just as easily won and I'm very lucky that my photo was chosen.

    Also thanks to everyone who provided critique and feedback on my set of entries (for this challenge and others), it's much appreciated and very useful.

    Without this challenge this photo would not exist. I decided to take my gear to work on Sunday (I was making up for time I'd miss later in the week) for a night shot even though the weather and light wasn't promising, as it would be my only opportunity for a night shot before the challenge period ended. I'm glad it worked out!

    Again, thanks to everyone, this was not expected :D

    Awww, don't cry, it happens. It's just something we have to learn to take. Leave it behind taking only what you've learned. There's always another challenge.:)
