2. Is there any prize?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Well, sort of.

The winner in these monthly contests gets to run the next contest, the next month, or find someone else to do it.

We always joke that the second place winner is the true winner. Lots of votes, and no responsibility!

7. Congratulations Richard!!

you lucky first place winner, you! :evilgrin: And for a really beautiful image.

Mz Pip, as I've been looking at your photo, it becomes increasingly haunting. The lines of the cityscape and the dock line up so well that the dock looks like the ruins of the city, with only the memory in the distance.

11. Massive Congratulations to every single winner. I was so happy with a contest

that showed how every vote counts, and had the excitement of a very close finish. We don't get that very often. I was so taken with every one of the photos - the finalists were all spectacular and deserved to be in that last lineup.

I thank the photographers for participating and bringing beauty and fun.
Congratulations, Richard D. you won the big one, and I look forward to seeing more of you in the next month.
