    Congratulations! Very well deserved.

    This is still one of my favorite shots from the entire competition. (From SF #1) The Final entry somehow matched that perfectly.

    Nicely pointed out, it's been interesting to see Vandana's awesome style really develop and become her signature. nod.gif


    It's also a great example that sticking to what your good at can indeed bring rewards.

    Thanks to our title sponsor, SmugMug!
    I imagine lots of new folks, lurkers will be reading this... so I have to mention that for her win, Vandana gets $7500(usd) in cold hard cash, and a lifetime Pro SmugMug account. Not bad, eh?

    Big thank you to the SmugMug family for sponsoring this contest. thumb.gif
