I see you under-estimated yourself here - doubting a top 100??
Ha!
You did awesome on this one, but now have to look away before I get hypnotized again....

Frankly, this is one of the shots in this challenge I really expected to finish at least in the top 20. Knowing the voters and their never ending search for the eye candy wow shots, this finished pretty good, even though they probably never sat and absorbed the life that shines in this image.
Certainly one of your very best ever Gordon!

Normally we shouldn't use a member's photo comments section for a thread of sorts, but what the heck - let's make this a party to celebrate an astounding image and person behind it.
Come on DPC'ers and let's have a tribute party, or a roast - that could be fun too....

Your statement: "but I can honestly say it's the best photo I've taken in 2006, if not EVER." is so right on the money.

I was very disappointed to see where this placed overall, but it's kind of ironic isn't it, that the more one of our own photographs moves us, the further down the scale they rank. I think it says something about what moves us deep inside for whatever reason, quite often in a different wavelength than the average crowd.
It's a far better thing to march to one's own beat than to fall into the hum-drum kettle in life.
