Many congratulations, Gunther! Wonderful image! #433495Gunther Allen March 19, 2004
Thank you Evy, James, Murry, Robin, Susan, Leanne, Eric, Jean, Darren, and Kristine. This one surprised me to make the finals. It was one of those spontaneous shots that we were just goofing around with. I though it looked kind of fun, so I entered it. Sometimes the ones we least expect will be appreciated turn out to be our best shots. It made me take a closer look and re-evaluate. Best of luck to everyone who made it to the finals- I will try to comment on each of the photos when I get a little more time! #433638Barbara K. Breitsameter March 19, 2004
