I'm sorry you didn't win. But I agree that TOP 20 out of 1800 is GREAT!. Don't discount your achievement.

I think 20 out of 1800 is a fine accomplishment. Any chance you have your entry photo posted here? Cograts on your accomplishment!

VegasMike: It's in this post OK I need some INPUT from you guys......

I guess I thought there were 2 other shots that could have beaten mine and this one wasn't one of them. I really don't see how it won.
The Theme was Twilight, The time of day Just before the sun rises and the time of day just after the sun sets. I STILL SEE THE SUN IN THIS PICTURE!!!!!! LOL

Oh well now I need to make 45 posts so I can at least be "Senior Member" around here LOL

And THANKS to every single one of you guys who rooted for me and had fun following this little journey we went on for a few days. It was a fun ride...........
Lets do it again soon

Wow, didn't see that coming either! But hey, if the judges were smart, your photo was probably in their top 3.
