I FOUND IT!!! HA!!!!!!! Hey! This is so cool, Retro! Actually your gallery is SO impressive! I am in shock that you dont have page after page with awards.

HOWEVER, this being said, getting POTD on Christmas Eve is SUCH a huge honor. I am so happy for you!

Thanks for encouraging words,you are too kind!
I have read "how to win" and it seems to me,my photos are lacking originality,creativity,composition,sharpness,etc,etc...
Anyway,I enjoy taking photos and enjoy the work of others on this site.
Maybe someday perhaps,if and when I ever master Photoshop...

Thanks again and again!!:) #8309720
