Thank you All -
This was a lucky shot. This was cropped.
BUT this is only one photo out of 650 that made the Finalist cut. I am not good enough yet to compete from what I see daily at BetterPhoto.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
