    Congrats Gus. Now for the bad part, you don't get to enter the next challenge.:cry

    As others have said, there were a lot of great entries for this one. Hopefully,
    that trend will carry on in the future.

    I'm another one--that shot hit me the moment I saw it.

    This was a really strong field, IMO. I really liked several others in the finalists and would have been happy with any of those winning.

    Thanks everyone for your comments & voting.

    We are coming up to a hot summer (as they all are) & are currently in our worst drought in over 100 years...the cities water is approaching critical levels if we dont get storm rain soon. I just imagined all that & tried to put it in a portrait.

    Yup, great shot. Not that the other were bad, not at all, excellent entries in this challenge again, and other people looked way prettier, but Gus really set a "cool" image.
    enjoy being here while getting there
