Thanks Robin, Alison and Peter.Peter, there are so many photos submitted, I just never want to try to guess what catches a judge's eye. But I like the shot no matter how it does. #4887264

David I agree with you re the number of photos submitted. Even seeing a small percentage of them is very hard. The main thing is that you like the shot as the judging is very personal and an image which does well in one competition can fail totally in another. I like this image very much. #4887280David W. Orias October 11, 2007
Very true, Peter. You just never know until the judging is complete. #4912460Philippe Vieux-Jeanton October 24, 2007

Way to go David - two winners this month! Makes me want to take my lens out and get it wet ;-) #5137523John Goyer November 27, 2007
the congrats remains, but disregard the other comment - I thought I navigated to the recent winners and this shot came up - only after I commented did I notice that it wasn't as new as I thought!
