Well I'll be danged! You were due, David! Congratulations!!! Looking at the color version, I think you took a big chance not submitting that one! I think it would've done even better. Both great images though. Way to go!

OK, let's see if I can even type - my heart is still beating halfway out of my chest. This was a BIG surprise. Right before the challenge ended I was saying "Top 10, oh please, oh please, Top 10"!!! A ribbon??? Wow! Thanks so much for the votes, and congratuations to inede and nshapiro for their ribbons as well!

Anyway, several people commented during voting that they'd like to see this photo in color, so here it is:
