Huge congrats on achieving this fantastic result, a blue ribbon with a 7.6+ score in a 1000+ entries challenge !!!

I am SO GLAD you won it with a shot taken in my country. Some people was expecting to have an Icelandic landscape in the front page, and you put Peru on it!!! :-)

Let me add a little publicity to my country and say that not only Johana's ( tanguera)image was taken in Peru, but also
Dave's ( davemce)image
and of course mine .
The last two were taken in the same valley (Sacred Valley of Urubamba), and amazingly enough, even when dates are approx 17 months apart, you can identify very similar color palettes, and even the donkeys seem to be the same :-).

Heh, it seems I was indeed half a planet away with my guess on the location. Congrats on the blue. Although I only gave this a 9 initially, with hindsight and on further views I should have stuck my neck out and gone for the 10.

To get a blue against such a massive entry is an awesome achievement. Well done!

Wonderful photo.
Number 1 is often considered to be the Milford Track in New Zealand, I believe (at least by New Zealanders!)
