What a pleasant surprise to see your name on my discussion thread today, Frank. I had quite a job finding one of your award-winning photos without my name already there. But this sopping-wet sweetie was worth the search! A VERY belated Congratulations to you for this well earned Finalist! Hope we'll be seeing new photos with your name under them soon. #11268048
