I LOVE the winners. Congrats Mz PiP and CC and NV Whino.
As they always do, the voters kept the winners diverse. That to me is always a fascination.

Alfredo. I'm so thankful for your hosting work. You are now a seasoned pro at it and in the future it's a whole lot easier. I missed you entering a photograph, especially in this category.

Applause all around.

And a kudos to NV Whino. Tough contest to vote in and very well run alfredo! It wouldn't be a real DU contest without a mistake or two and causing gray hair. Now I will breathe again, relax and wait to see what May's theme is while reminding all that the Spring contest should start on June 1st so keep on shooting while there is still a Spring to capture.
