Dear Hali, I feel that this contest was a joke! your picture was one of the best in the contest should have won I've been shooting for 45 years and there are at least a half-dozen much better pictures including yours than the one that one and I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way so congratulations and my mind you are the winner maybe I'll send you a present just to make it official!
