Tammy L. Newcomb May 14, 2009
Well thank you Mrs. Donna P. and Lee...Lee, you said "Marvelous Macro" and this made me think was this perhaps best suited for the "Flower" category or "Macro" category? Well, guess it's too late now and we shall see how far it will go. If it does not make finalist I will try the Macro category. #7519428

Mary Beth Aiello June 26, 2009
Tammy -- The colors and detail are absolutely stunning. Just gorgeous. Huge congrats on this well deserved first place winner.Tammy L. Newcomb June 26, 2009
Thank you very much Mary Beth. It's a great honor to be in the winner's circle with you and all the other talented photographers. I was looking through all the past Grand Prize Winners and First Place and I see that these two spots are very hard to land even for the most talented here, so I do consider myself very fortunate to be in the position that I am and never take anything for granted because there are some wonderful photos throughout this site that are more deserving than mine but yet I captured top honors. This is why I am so honored and grateful to be in first place.Again, thanks for commenting.
