Nobu Nagase March 21, 2011

Jo Ann,
Thank you for your comment.

I have not participated in Betterphoto contest for several years now.

I really do not think this was in last month finalist unless Betterphoto or its members played a trick.
I would appreciate if you could point to the contest (finalist) page where this may be found.

Regards,
Nobi #9306368
