Alfredo: it's so deserved! A wonderful panorama and
CurtEastPoint and Mz Pip your photographs are right up there with it.
I congratulate everyone who entered, it was a first for the theme, and for me it was a first time to ever do panoramas (because I had to LOL)

I also very much loved "Bulkfood" by handmade 34, thought it highly creative and beautifully executed and am happy it got hostess' choice.

Alfredo, that was a beautiful entry.

Interesting that the choice that I really liked was Handmade34's bulkfood as well. I was intrigued by it because it was so innovative. I always think of panoramas being for landscapes, and this made me look at so much more.
