Congrats to all of the finalists and winners this month.
My time on BP will be sporadic but I will keep up with your images as much as I can this week.
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.
:-)
Oh - BTW, this is the result of my playing around with the first image I took with my new camera....let me know what you think. Does it work or are the effects too grainy?
