And congratulations to all the photographers--me, included!
This is the first time I've placed in the top three in one of these contests,
and I have to say I look forward to them every month. I have learned
so much from all of you!

And congratulations to Mira, mnhtnbb, Richard D., and all of those with such beautiful photos.

A special thanks to all of the members of DU who took the time to vote and comment. I think it's safe to say that all of us in the photography group appreciate it.

The are all beautiful.

I think for me, the winner had such depth. Like small photographs within a large photographs. Just so much to look at and explore. Absolutely gorgeous!

Again, congrats to all. You do a wonderful job.

Just a suggestion. Post the links to the original contest posts, so we can refer back to all the photos?

This time was one where the one I genuinely most liked did not seem to be one of the more popular ones. But I can't remember which one it was and want to check if it made the top 10 even.

(usually the one I like most is already blowing away the competition and doesn't need my vote, so I vote for one that is very nice but not doing so well. This time for some reason the one that struck me as phenomenal wasn't seen that way by so many others.)
