 Those of you how have been paying attention might recognize this from one of my earlier entries. It didn't far well that time, so I decided to give it another chance. I'm glad I did.

Thanks to all for the great comments and thanks to Judi for the tip on processing.

I really love the look of this photo. It didn't finish as high as I had hoped -- or as high as I think it deserves, but congratulations on 11th place. In this challenge, that's not bad :)

The light here and composition are outstanding. I really thought this would be a ribbon winner. Great stuff
