Wow, thanks Jim. I'm extremely honored having tied for third. This is the first time I've ever been mentioned in any kind of photo contest and am absolutely flattered.

After looking at all of the entries I must say I was lucky, many many great images here.

Not sure which thread to post comments in, but I'll reiterate them here as well.

Congratulations, Wertdinger, on 1st place!! Excellent job and excellent photo. Congratulations also to all of the other winners. And congratulations to Jose for tying me for 2nd place....who would have thought that we would have a similar photo of the exact same flower. There were some very awesome and very interesting flora presented, along with the compositions. And a special thank you to Jim for being a great host....you kept us informed, and you were very timely in announcing the winners. Great job!!

I feel very honored to have received a tie for 2nd place with Jose, as this is my first experience with a CTF challenge. Thanks to all who have given me great advice and support in the past few months. This is an awesome forum. And thank you Jim for voting for my picture.

Now on to the next challenge. Looking forward to what the next topic might be.
