I am in awe of your talent and creativity, I always find it very hard to choose one over any other and, in a way, that is a joy for me. All that beauty and talent on display for me and others to enjoy.

Thank you all!

16. Thanks to all who voted for my image "Out of Gas". This

was my first entry in the DU Photography Contest and I'm very happy to have competed well.

I'm quite surprised and humbled by the way my image was able to compete. It's the raw image and the more I looked at it after I submitted the more I wish I had cropped and composed it a little better. But, alas, you live and learn and I'm a newb to photography as an art. So, maybe I could have done better but I'm ecstatic about the results.

Congratulations to JohnnyRingo for his most excellent photo "Rinse and Recycle". I knew it would be the winner the moment I laid eyes on it. And to the rest, all of your images were great and inspiring and thoughtful. I especially like "Have You Seen Me" by Earth_First.

Once again, thank you all so much! Can't wait for the next one.

Edited to add: And a really big THANK YOU to Solly Mack for a great theme and a contest well run.
