Holy Cr@p Connor!!!
I'm so very happy for you! Knowing what the photo looked like originally, aren't you glad you spent all the extra time working with it?
Dang, $500 smackers to learn good lessons with PS, eh? Too stinkin' cool. And as Scooby said, there were some fantastic other shots for that month which makes your victory all that more wonderful.
Congratulations!

I've got to start saving sometime! Knowing myself...I will probably end up spending the money anyway though

No kidding! In my opinion, A lot of th pictures in the Top 10 are A LOT better then mine. Maybe the judges drive a MINI or something .
As a student...I have been thinking a lot about how I am spending my money lately, and I decided to just put the majority of the money in savings. Maybe help me pay for a house, or something when I am older.

.It's tough to be a judge. You deserved the win.
Excellent decision on investing in savings. Think before you act.

Awesome! Major congrats. The picture rules! Can't wait to check out more on there as well.
I'll have to look into that site a little more...you may have introduced me to something dangerous....scampering off to find $9 for an entry fee and which picture to submit. (gotta read more about if I retain copyright stuff and not giving away any rights by entering)

I submitted another one this month. Not nearly as good as my last one, but I figured I probably should continue to support the contest since they paid me $500 
. I am probably going to invest in a new lense shortly after christmas , so I definitely plan on taking LOTS of photos while out of school for 2 and a half weeks!

Yea! You definitely should!!! Your pictures are 10X better than mine so I best you could win some money as well
, and apparently the judges like MINIs too! By the way, I am pretty sure you retain all rights to the photos as well, so nothing to worry about there.
