First off, i want to say WOW!!
This went so much better then i expected.
I want to thank everyone who submitted photos to me, for playing along.
I liked getting to see more of your photography.
I got to see lots of amazing pictures in doing this contest.
And it was lots of fun seeing what everyone picked, and picking my favorites from them all.

I will be doing another contest feature for sure!! So keep watching my journals.

I also want to say, it was very very hard to choose
I loved all the pictures submitted but i couldn't chose them all lol
