Thank you all for your kind and encouraging comments. This is my first win in any contest ever, so you can probably guess my feelings at the moment. I was even happy to be in the finals... and then being selected from all those great, breathtaking images... unbelievable!
I´ve still been calling myself as a beginner, and I´m learning a lot by just watching your great photos, so I think I ough a big thanks to all of you!
I still have a lot to learn and this sure gives me a lot of encourage to go on...
