Stunning capture, Chris. #10610477Dayna Cain March 15, 2013
Glad to see you resubmitted this one. This image is just stunning in every way possible. I like this one as much as I do your GP win "The Way Up". I will keep my fingers crossed. It deserves to win! #10610728Chris Budny March 18, 2013
Thank you both! And thanks Dayna, for prompting me to retry. This rework has some minor changes from the original, around contrast and sharpness in the floor, which I like. #10614307David M. Montero March 18, 2013
Love them both but this version is sharper. Fantastic capture Chris!!! #10614875Chris Budny March 19, 2013
Thanks, Dave; this version nudges out the other in my opinion as well! #10616051Kara L. Hendricks April 28, 2013

Not to take anything away from the winners - because they are terrific - but I think "you was robbed". For what it's worth it's a winner in my book Chris. (This could be the cover of your book...) #10679534JO ANN CLEVELAND May 03, 2013
I ditto Dave M.Congratulations on this wonderful 2nd Place finalist Chris!
