Congratulations Stan! This shot looked like a winner from day one! I think the judges were right on selecting this one. Congratulations to all who participated, you're all winners in my book.
I loved your first version and admired the way you continued to work on the photo to make it even better. You ended up with the perfect entry: a gorgeous photo by any measure that also fit the catagory. Congratulations on a well deserved win.

Thank you all for your kind resopnses, clap It only took 2 years Ha Ha. I did love some of the other entries. It often suprises me which make the cut and which don't, I guess I will find out, how hard it is. Long exposure is sure to produce some fabulous results.
