yayyyyyy me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This will officially go down in the record books! I never win anything...unless you count th .54 cents I won in Vegas on the penney slot machine which I frivolously (sp?) lost seconds later. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy...do I actually win something or just nifty bragging rights?! :P

Congrats!

I thought maybe overnight I might pull in those 80+ votes I needed to overtake you, but alas...

Well deserved too. Great job! Gorgeous MINI!

Congratulations on a well-deserved win!

Now that the results are in, can you tell us how you got that shot? Did you take it while you were driving?

I was infact driving when I took the shot. There really isn't a big secret to how I took it. The sky was great because it was about to rain (well it almost rained), I just held the camera up near my left ear and took a couple shots. I had it on the action setting. That's really it.
Thanks everyone who voted for me! yayyyyy I'm a happy camper

I'm still overwhelmed by the response to this photo. Thanks guys...you make me feel so special. E hugs all around!

I've noticed a trend with my photography. I'll take a photo that I think is just "OK" and everyone else will tell me it's brilliant. Then I'll take a photo I think is brilliant and everyone else will tell me it's just "OK"
This is one I thought was "OK" but has gotten the biggest response out of everything I've done....aside from my cute bunny...but it's a cute bunny...how can anyone resist?

Some of my best shots were taken without looking through the view finder or at the LCD screen.
