  This is super. I can't believe you haven't had any finalists yet. You've got some great shots in your gallery.

  This is one of the first shots I took with the camera. When I decided to get really interested in photography and decided on the Sony R1, this was the day I learned how to use the camera for the first time. You can see why I kept it.

Also thanks for the finalist comment. That has been my goal but as yet, elusive.

Dale
